Shielded RJ45 Inline Coupler Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A Female To Female Extender For FTP Cables

Description:

An FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) in-line coupler is a specialized networking accessory designed to extend the reach of existing FTP Ethernet cables or to connect two separate FTP cable segments. Functionally, it acts as a gender changer and an extender, typically featuring two identical RJ45 jacks (female ports) on opposite ends of a compact housing.

The coupler's robust construction usually involves a durable, often shielded, plastic or metal casing that encases the internal wiring and connections. The "FTP" designation is crucial here, as it signifies that the coupler itself incorporates shielding – typically a foil wrap around the internal conductors – to maintain the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) protection inherent in FTP cabling systems. This shielding is vital for preserving signal integrity and preventing crosstalk, especially in environments prone to electrical noise.

Internally, the coupler features precise pin-to-pin wiring that mirrors the T568A or T568B Ethernet wiring standards, ensuring a straight-through connection. This means that pin 1 on one RJ45 jack connects directly to pin 1 on the other, and so on for all eight conductors, allowing for transparent data transmission. Some higher-quality couplers may also incorporate robust internal contacts and strain relief mechanisms to ensure reliable connections and prevent cable damage.
