Adafruit 25 Pack Cat6 Shielded Keystone Coupler Silver

25-Pack Cat6 Shielded Keystone Couplers

This pack contains twenty-five female-to-female RJ45 keystone couplers rated to the Cat6 standard. Each unit supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and remains backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e cabling. The shielded metal housing and gold-plated contacts reduce EMI and RFI interference during data transmission. They are designed for quick insertion into standard keystone wall plates or patch panels.

Installers extending or repairing structured cabling

The couplers suit network installers and IT staff who need to join two solid or stranded patch cables inside a keystone opening. The plug-and-play design requires no punch-down tools, making them practical for moves, adds and changes in offices or data rooms. Buyers who need to terminate bare conductors onto IDC pins should choose a keystone jack instead, as these couplers only accept pre-terminated RJ45 plugs.

Verify keystone cut-out dimensions and cable type

Confirm that your wall plates or patch panels accept the standard keystone form factor before ordering. Ensure the cables you plan to connect are terminated with RJ45 plugs compatible with Cat6 performance. The couplers are shielded, so grounding the panel or plate maintains the screening benefit. No additional tools are required beyond a compatible mounting surface.
