Cable gender changer EFB Elektronik 37489.2, grey adapter

EFB Elektronik 37489.2 is a compact grey cable gender changer designed for Cat.6A shielded patch cables. It features two shielded RJ45 connectors with 1:1 allocation and a metal housing to ensure reliable physical connection and improved EMI protection when joining two compatible Ethernet cables or adapters.

Advantages

The metal housing and shielded RJ45 connectors provide mechanical durability and enhanced electromagnetic shielding. The 1:1 pin allocation preserves standard wiring without requiring rewiring, and the small form factor allows easy placement in tight rack or desktop installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting two Cat.6A or shielded Ethernet patch cables
• Extending cable length without re-terminating ends
• Adapting cable gender in network, audio/video, or computer setups
