Product Description
A tool-free, in-line RJ45 coupler for extending or joining CAT5/CAT5E/CAT6 runs outdoors without pulling new cable through ducting.
Key specs
- Waterproof rating: IP67 — sealed against dust ingress and water, suited to external cabinets, soffits and cable runs exposed to weather.
- Interface: RJ45 female-to-female, straight-through 8-pin, nickel-plated contacts for stable connection continuity.
- Cable compatibility: CAT5, CAT5E and CAT6 patch or bulk cable.
- Shell material: ABS, chosen for hardness and tensile strength to hold the joint firm under cable tension.
- Assembly is hand-fitted — no crimping or special tools required, so it's quick to deploy mid-run on site.
What's in the box
Each unit ships as 1 x coupler main body, plus 2 x waterproof rubber plugs, 2 x waterproof heads, 2 x rubber plugs and 2 x nuts — everything needed to seal both cable entries once the RJ45 plugs are docked.
Where it fits on a job
Useful for extending PoE camera runs where a single CAT6 length falls short, or for joining two pre-terminated leads at a junction point on an external wall or pole. Since it's a straight-through female-to-female coupler, both sides need existing RJ45 plugs already crimped onto the cable ends.
Not a substitute for a proper outdoor-rated junction box on runs subject to constant water pooling — check the mounting orientation keeps the seals facing downward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many couplers come in one unit?
Each unit is one coupler main body, supplied with two waterproof rubber plugs, two waterproof heads, two rubber plugs and two nuts to seal both cable entries.
Does this coupler work with CAT6 cable?
Yes — it's rated for CAT5, CAT5E and CAT6, all using the same straight-through 8-pin RJ45 interface.
Do I need any tools to fit it?
No — the design is meant to be assembled by hand in minutes, provided both cable ends already have RJ45 plugs crimped on.
Is it sealed well enough for outdoor use?
It carries an IP67 rating for dust and water protection, so it's intended for external runs, though mounting orientation with seals facing downward is still worth checking.
