LOGILINK Keystone Coupler Cat.5e STP, 2xRJ45, metal, shielded

In-wall Ethernet connections often suffer from signal loss and interference when joining two patch cables. The LOGILINK Keystone Coupler Cat.5e STP provides a shielded metal housing and gold-plated contacts to maintain a clean, reliable link for Gigabit networks. It snaps into any standard keystone wall plate or patch panel, turning two RJ45 cables into one continuous shielded run.

Who is it for

Network installers and IT technicians who need a durable, shielded inline coupler for Cat.5e installations in offices, data centres, or industrial environments. Ideal for extending existing cable runs without re-terminating, and for use in patch panels, surface mount boxes, and wall outlets where a female-to-female connection is required.

Main features

• Shielded metal housing reduces EMI/RFI interference and ensures long-term mechanical stability.
• Two RJ45 female ports (8P8C) with gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and reliable signal integrity.
• Supports Cat.5e performance up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and PoE/PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at).
• Standard keystone footprint (19.2 x 14.9 mm) fits all common faceplates, surface boxes, and patch panels.
• Compatible with TIA/EIA 568A/B wiring schemes for flexible integration.
• RoHS and CE certified for quality and environmental compliance.

Tips

For best shielding performance, use shielded Cat.5e patch cables and ensure the keystone frame is properly grounded. The coupler can be used in pairs with a keystone faceplate to create a neat wall-mounted extension point.
