InLine Cat.5e adaptor, fully shielded, metal, 2x RJ45 F/F, 1:1

The InLine Cat.5e adaptor fully shielded metal 69990E is a compact inline adapter with two RJ45 F/F ports designed to join or extend Cat5e Ethernet cables. Its fully shielded metal housing reduces electromagnetic interference and provides a durable connection point for network cabling. The silver finish offers a neutral appearance suitable for home or office environments.

Advantages

The fully shielded metal construction improves EMI/RFI protection compared to unshielded adapters and enhances mechanical durability. Two female RJ45 connectors maintain a 1:1 pin mapping for straightforward cable extension without signal reconfiguration. The compact form factor makes it easy to install in tight spaces and to carry for field use.

Suitable for

• Extending Cat5e Ethernet cables
• Joining two RJ45-terminated network cables
• Temporary or permanent network repairs
• Environments where additional shielding is required

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plugs of the two Cat5e cables into each female RJ45 port until they click. Ensure both cable terminations are intact and that the connector latches engage properly. Place the connected adapter in a location that avoids excessive strain on the cables and, if used in an area with high interference, position it to minimize exposure to sources of EMI.

Recommendations

For best performance, use with Cat5e-rated cables and maintain short, strain-free connections. Avoid repeated bending at the connection point and check that cable shielding and terminations are in good condition when operating in electrically noisy environments.
