GETFORT GF-2G5E-BL-UTP RJ45 Cat.5e Inline Coupler Female to Female UTP Light Grey

When a network cable falls short or a connector gets damaged, this inline coupler is the quick fix that keeps your connection alive. The GETFORT GF-2G5E-BL-UTP joins two RJ45 patch cables in seconds, extending your Ethernet run without crimping new ends. It’s built for Cat.5e networks and carries Fast Ethernet signals up to 100 Mbps, with Gigabit compatibility over shorter distances.

Why choose it

This coupler is a simple, reliable way to connect two Ethernet cables without signal loss. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure a stable link, while the ABS housing protects against everyday bumps. It’s small enough to tuck behind a desk or inside a wall plate, and it works with any standard RJ45 plug.

Ideal use cases

• Extending an existing Ethernet cable when it’s just a bit too short
• Repairing a damaged cable by cutting off the broken connector and joining the good part
• Connecting two patch cables in a temporary setup, such as a trade show booth or home office
• Linking cables in a structured cabling system where a permanent re-termination is not practical

Good to know

The coupler is unshielded (UTP), so it is best used with UTP cables in low-interference environments. For Gigabit Ethernet, keep the total cable length short to maintain performance. No tools are required—just plug in both cables and you’re connected.
