Do you have two internet cables, but neither is long enough to properly connect your device? With this Ibley RJ45 coupler, you can easily extend your existing LAN, UTP, or ethernet cable without having to immediately buy a new, long cable. The coupler has an RJ45 female connector on both sides and is suitable for connecting two network cables to each other. Thanks to support for up to 10Gbps, a sturdy housing, gold-plated contact points, and plug & play use, this is a practical solution for the home, office, gaming, streaming, or a fixed internet connection. The blue color is useful when you want to clearly identify cables or network connections.
Suitable for these devices and connections
This adapter/converter is suitable for the following devices or connections:
- RJ45 ethernet cables, LAN cables, UTP cables, and internet cables
- Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 network cables
- Routers, modems, switches, patch panels, PCs, laptops, smart TVs, consoles, and network equipment with an RJ45 connection
- Situations where you want to link two short network cables into one longer connection
What do you use this adapter for?
You use this RJ45 coupler to connect two network cables directly to each other. This is useful when your internet cable is just a little too short for your desk, TV stand, game console, router, switch, or workspace. Instead of replacing an existing cable, you can keep using your current cables with this ethernet extender. This allows you to quickly create a longer connection for wired internet, without installation, settings, or extra software.
Key benefits
- Extends your internet cable: link two RJ45 cables together into one longer connection.
- Supports up to 10Gbps: suitable for fast network connections when your cables and equipment support this as well.
- Widely compatible: suitable for Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 network cables.
- Plug & play: no drivers, power supply, or installation required.
- Sturdy finish: designed with gold-plated contact points and a sturdy housing for a stable connection.
Plug & play use
Usage is simple: insert one RJ45 internet cable into one side of the coupler and the second RJ45 internet cable into the other side. Once both cables click securely into place, the coupler forms one continuous network connection. No driver, app, power supply, or configuration is required. The final speed and stability do depend on your cable category, cable length, network equipment, connection, and internet subscription.
What should you pay attention to?
This product is intended as an RJ45 female-to-female coupler for network cables. It is not a modem, router, switch, or Wi-Fi booster and does not independently increase your internet speed. For the highest speeds, your cables, router, switch, network card, and other equipment must also support the desired speed. Preferably use good quality cables and avoid unnecessarily long or damaged cable runs, as this can affect stability and performance.
Network speed and cable category
The coupler supports modern ethernet connections up to 10Gbps, matching Cat6A applications. You can also use it with Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7 cables, but the maximum speed is always determined by the weakest link in your network. For example, if you use an older cable, router, or network port, the actual speed may be lower than the maximum supported by the coupler.
Stable wired connection
A wired connection is often more stable than Wi-Fi, especially for gaming, working from home, streaming, large downloads, or equipment that needs to stay online permanently. With this LAN coupler, you can smartly extend existing cables without immediately replacing your entire cable setup. The blue version is also useful when you want to mark different connections or keep an overview in a utility closet, patch cabinet, or workspace.
