Description

Our Category 6 RJ45 In-Line Coupler requires no tools to connect ethernet patch cables. This device is an ideal solution for extending existing Category 6 applications where the cables cannot be easily accessed or relocated. It is also a must have addition to any network technician?s toolkit for testing and diagnosing equipment issues. The high-impact housing is combined with gold plated RJ45 contacts that meet or exceed the Category 6 TIA/EIA standard.

CATEGORY 6

Category 6 cable, commonly referred to as Cat 6, is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. The cable provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T for distances of up to 100 meters, and 10GBASE-T for distances up to 55 meters.

CABLING STANDARDS

Network cabling standards are used internationally and are published by ISO/IEC, CENELEC and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). Since 1995, solid-conductor UTP cables for backbone cabling is required to be no thicker than 22 AWG and no thinner than 24 AWG, or 26 AWG for shorter-distance cabling.
