How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plug of one Ethernet cable into one side of the UNITEK A1026BK and insert the RJ-45 plug of the second cable into the opposite side until both clicks engage. Verify the physical connection and then test network link status on connected devices. For best results use cables with compatible category rating (Cat5e/Cat6) and avoid excessive bending at the connector.

Recommendations

Use the coupler for short extensions only; for permanent installations or long runs prefer a single continuous cable of appropriate category to maintain signal integrity.
