Ethernet RJ45-patchkabel-adapter ShiverPeaks 75002 Cat 5e voor netwerkconnectiviteit

ShiverPeaks 75002 Cat 5e Ethernet RJ45 patch cable adapter is an inline network adapter designed to join, extend or adapt RJ45 patch leads while retaining Cat 5e performance. The adapter supports standard Ethernet speeds associated with Cat 5e cabling and is intended for straightforward inline connections without re-terminating cable runs. Its compact form factor makes it practical for home, office and small LAN installations where a temporary or permanent inline coupling between two patch cables is required.

Advantages

This RJ45 patch cable adapter preserves Cat 5e signal characteristics and allows quick inline connection of two patch cables without cutting or re-crimping. The adapter is shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference where applicable and presents a simple physical interface compatible with standard RJ45 patch leads. It is compact and easy to install in patch panels, behind equipment or in confined spaces where a short coupling is needed.

Suitable for

• Extending an Ethernet patch lead in home networks
• Joining patch cables in small office LANs
• Temporary network adaptations during equipment moves or reconfigurations
• Inline coupling behind routers, switches or patch panels

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 5e compatible
• Connector type: RJ45 plug to dual RJ45 jack configuration for inline patching
• Shielding: shielded design to reduce EMI (where applicable)
• Supported modes: typical Ethernet operation up to Cat 5e performance (suitable for 100 Mbps and gigabit-capable installations where Cat 5e is used)
• Length: very short inline adapter / coupling form factor

How to use

Insert an RJ45 plug from the first patch cable into the adapter's plug end and connect the second patch cable into the adapter's jack. Ensure connectors are fully seated and check link LEDs on connected equipment to confirm network connectivity. For best results, use quality Cat 5e patch leads and avoid excessive bending or strain on the adapter connection. The adapter can remain inline as a semi-permanent coupling or be used for temporary extensions during network changes.

Recommendations

Use this adapter with Cat 5e-rated patch cables to retain expected performance. Avoid placing the adapter where it will be exposed to mechanical stress or water. For installations requiring full gigabit throughput over longer cable runs, verify overall cable quality and run length; replacing short runs with a continuous cable may offer lower loss than multiple couplings.
