How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plug of one Ethernet cable into one female port of the adapter and the plug of the second cable into the other port until each clicks into place. Ensure both cable ends are fully seated to secure the connection. The adapter functions passively and requires no power or configuration; once connected it provides a direct physical link between the two cables.

Recommendations

Use the gender changer for short-term or emergency cable joins. For permanent links or installations requiring maximum throughput and lowest possible signal loss, consider using a single continuous cable or a professionally terminated coupler rated for the specific Ethernet category in use.
