Panel-mount RJ45 coupler for Cat6A links
The Zebra RJ4556 is a threaded bulkhead adapter that joins two standard RJ45 patch cables through a panel cut-out. It accepts Cat6A, Cat6 and Cat5e cables and carries both data and Power over Ethernet, making it suited for rack enclosures, stage boxes, wall plates and 86-type panel installations.
Sustained signal integrity across the barrel
Gold-plated 8P8C contacts maintain consistent conductivity during continuous PoE and high-speed data sessions. The straight-through female-to-female wiring adds no active circuitry, so latency and crosstalk remain identical to a single uninterrupted cable run of the same category rating.
Passive thermal profile with unshielded housing
Because the module contains no electronics, it generates no heat and emits no noise under any load. The unshielded plastic body relies on the surrounding panel for mechanical support and does not impose additional power draw on connected equipment.

Questions about this item
Does the RJ4556 coupler generate any heat or draw power when used continuously for PoE?
The coupler is a passive component with no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power itself; only the connected devices and cabling determine thermal load.
What mounting hardware must I already have to install this panel-mount coupler?
You need a panel or enclosure with a standard threaded cut-out — the coupler secures by rotating its threaded body into that opening, requiring no soldering or special tools.
Will this Cat6A coupler work with the Cat5e patch cables I already own?
Yes, the RJ4556 is backward compatible with Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 cables, so existing patch leads will connect and operate at their rated category speed.
