EXSYS EX-49196 Metal RJ45 Coupler, Cat.6a Shielded, Panel Mount, Silver

10 Gigabit Ethernet through a rugged metal housing: the EXSYS EX-49196 is a shielded RJ45 female-to-female coupler built for panel and chassis mounting. Its die-cast metal body and gold-plated 8P8C contacts maintain Cat.6a signal integrity up to 500 MHz, making it a dependable link in high-speed network infrastructure.

Overview

The EX-49196 provides a straight-through RJ45 connection point where two patch cables meet inside a wall plate, patch panel, or industrial enclosure. Screw-in installation keeps the coupler fixed, while full shielding reduces EMI and crosstalk in dense installations.
