Strengthen your high-speed network with Tripp Lite's N235-001-SH-D Cat6 Straight-Through Modular Shielded In-Line Snap-In Coupler(F/F). It connects two Cat6 patch cords to create one longer cable. Its keystone design is perfect for convenient feed-through patching when used with a standard data wallplate(such as Tripp Lite's N042-001-WH). One RJ45 port is angled down at a 90-degree angle for easy installation in hard-to-reach spaces. Built for ultra-fast performance, this is an ideal coupler when setting up premise wiring, telecommunications, data networking and Ethernet connections. Compatible with all Cat6 cables, the N235-001-SH-D's protective metal housing is fully shielded to reduce EMI/RFI interference that can damage or degrade data. This coupler features straight-through wiring and 50-µinch gold-plated contacts designed to resist corrosion. The N235-001-SH-D is UL-listed and meets all requirements for EIA/TIA Category 6 compliance. It's also backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 LANs.
