RJ45 8P8C Straight Coupler Pack
This pack contains seven black RJ45 female-to-female couplers. Each unit joins two Cat5 or Cat5e patch cables to create a longer run. The plastic housing measures 3.6 x 1.5 x 2.1 cm and weighs 48 g for the full set. They suit home or small-office networks that need a quick cable extension without re-termination.
Replaces Inline Splices or Keystone Jacks
A straight coupler is faster to deploy than crimping a new plug or punching down a keystone. The jump is worth it when you have spare patch leads and need an immediate link across a room or through a wall plate. It is not for installers who require a permanent, standards-compliant termination or shielded Cat6 and Cat6a performance.
Check Cable Category and Pinout Before Ordering
Confirm both cables are unshielded Cat5 or Cat5e with standard 8P8C wiring. The coupler passes all eight pins straight through, so crossover cables will not work as expected. Verify the latch tabs on your existing plugs are intact, because a broken tab prevents a secure click in the female ports.

Questions about this item
What are the exact dimensions of each RJ45 coupler so I can check clearance in a wall plate?
Each coupler measures 3.6 cm long, 1.5 cm wide and 2.1 cm high, or 1.4 by 0.6 by 0.8 inches.
How do I install the coupler without damaging the latch tabs on my Cat5e patch cords?
Align the plug's latch with the coupler's side slot, push straight in until it clicks, and pull the cable body — not the latch — to remove.
Will the plastic housing become brittle and need replacement after a few years in a warm cabinet?
The black plastic body weighs 48 g for the full 7-piece set and is rated for indoor use; avoid sustained heat above normal room temperature to prevent embrittlement.
