Do you have two internet cables, but neither is long enough to connect your device properly? With this Ibley RJ45 coupler, you can easily extend your existing LAN, UTP, or Ethernet cable without having to buy a new long cable. The coupler features 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 thickened PCB board, gold-plated contact points, an aluminum housing, and plug & play functionality, this is a practical solution for home, office, gaming, streaming, or a fixed internet connection. The yellow color is useful when you want to visually distinguish cables, for example in a utility cupboard, server rack, patch panel, or network setup.
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 connect two short network cables into one longer connection
What do you use this adapter for?
You can use this RJ45 coupler to directly connect two network cables. This is useful when your internet cable is just too short for your desk, TV stand, game console, router, switch, or workstation. Instead of replacing an existing cable, you can continue to use your current cables with this Ethernet extender. This allows you to quickly create a longer connection for wired internet, without installation, settings, or additional software.
Key benefits
- Extends your internet cable: couple two RJ45 cables together into one longer connection.
- Supports up to 10Gbps: suitable for fast network connections when your cables and equipment also support it.
- Broadly compatible: suitable for Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, and Cat7 network cables.
- Plug & play: no drivers, power supply, or installation required.
- Yellow finish: useful for clearly marking cable routes or network connections.
Plug & play use
Using it is simple: plug one RJ45 internet cable into one side of the coupler and the second RJ45 internet cable into the other side. As soon as 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 repeater 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 high-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 support of 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 must remain permanently online. With this LAN coupler, you can smartly extend existing cables without having to replace your entire cable setup. The yellow version is also useful when you want to keep different connections separated, for example during network management, installations, or multiple cable routes.
