Pannet CC688IW Cat6 RJ45 Coupler Module
A Cat 6 RJ45 coupler joining two patch cords without tools, tested for NEXT and return loss and serialized for traceability
- Exceeds Cat 6 channel standards for reliable gigabit links
- Supports PoE and PoE+ devices without extra wiring
- Tool-free pass-through joins two patch cords in seconds
- Gold-plated contacts ensure low-loss signal transmission
- Fits Mini-Com panels and faceplates for tidy installs
Category 6 coupler module
The Pannet CC688IW is a Mini-Com Cat 6 RJ45 coupler designed for structured cabling systems. It accepts 6 or 8 position patch cords in a straight-through female-to-female arrangement. The module snaps into compatible Mini-Com patch panels and faceplates without tools. It is not intended for surface-mount box installations.
Sustained PoE and signal performance
The coupler meets IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at requirements for Power over Ethernet applications. Each unit is 100 percent tested for NEXT and return loss performance and carries an individual serial number for traceability. Gold-plated contacts at 50 microinches maintain consistent conductivity over repeated mating cycles.
Standards-defined channel limits
The component is engineered to exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 and ISO 11801 2nd Edition Class E channel specifications. It functions as a single connecting hardware element within the overall channel budget. Optional blockout devices and dust caps address physical security and contamination but do not alter the electrical limits set by the standards.

Questions about this item
Does the Panduit CC688IW coupler generate any heat or noise when left connected all day?
The CC688IW is a passive RJ45 pass-through module with no active electronics, so it produces no heat, noise or power draw during continuous use.
What must I already own to use this Cat6 coupler module?
You need two RJ45 patch cords — either 6-position or 8-position — and a Mini-Com modular patch panel or faceplate to snap the module into.
Will this coupler work with my older Cat5e patch cables and existing Mini-Com faceplates?
Yes, the female-to-female RJ45 module accepts 6 and 8-position plugs and is compatible with Mini-Com modular patch panels and faceplates.
