Shielded Construction: Features a metal housing and internal shielding designed to help reduce electromagnetic interference.
Durable Aluminium Alloy Housing: Provides a compact, sturdy connector for everyday networking installations.
Gold-Plated Contacts: Help maintain reliable electrical contact between connected Ethernet cables.
Plug-and-Play Installation: Requires no software, configuration, or external power supply.
Backward Compatibility: Supports lower Ethernet speeds, including 1Gbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps, when supported by the connected network equipment.
The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Connector, model 15117, is a compact Ethernet cable coupler designed to join two network cables and extend an existing wired connection. Its two RJ45 female sockets allow you to connect male-ended Ethernet cables without replacing the entire cable run. With support for transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps, shielded construction, and compatibility with multiple Ethernet cable categories, it is suitable for home networks, offices, gaming setups, and other wired networking environments. The passive design makes installation simple, although actual speed depends on the connected cables, network ports, and total cable length.

High-Speed Data Transmission: Supports network links of up to 10Gbps when the entire connection, including both cables and connected devices, supports that speed.
Reliable Wired Connectivity: Joins two compatible Ethernet cables to provide a continuous wired connection between network devices.
Shielded Connection: Its metal housing and internal shielding help reduce interference in suitable networking environments.
Flexible Cable Extension: Makes it possible to combine shorter cables when a single cable does not reach the required location.
No Active Signal Processing: The connector does not amplify or regenerate network signals; performance depends on cable quality, terminations, ports, and total channel length.
Routers and Switches: Suitable for extending compatible Ethernet links connected to routers, switches, and hubs.
Computers and Laptops: Works with Ethernet connections from computers equipped with compatible network ports or adapters.
Smart TVs and Gaming Consoles: Can join network cables used for wired internet connectivity.
Printers and Network Devices: Suitable for compatible Ethernet-connected printers and other wired devices.
Multiple Cable Categories: Supports various Ethernet cable categories, but the final connection speed is limited by the lowest-performing component in the network path.
Home Networking: Extends wired connections between routers, computers, televisions, and other network devices.
Office Networks: Joins patch cables in workstations and small business networking setups.
Gaming Setups: Helps extend wired Ethernet connections for compatible gaming computers and consoles.
Network Equipment Installation: Provides a convenient way to join cable sections where a longer cable is unavailable.
Media and File Transfers: Supports compatible high-speed wired networks used for large file transfers and media access.

Check Connector Types: Make sure both cables have male RJ45 plugs, as this coupler provides two female sockets.
Choose Suitable Cables: For 10Gbps networking, use appropriate cable categories and compatible network equipment.
Measure the Total Cable Run: Account for the lengths of both cables together and follow the applicable Ethernet channel limits.
Confirm Shielding Requirements: If your installation uses shielded Ethernet cables, ensure the rest of the connection is appropriately designed for that setup.
Inspect Cable Connections: Push each plug into the coupler until it locks securely to help prevent intermittent connectivity.
Choose the Correct Product for the Job: This connector extends a wired Ethernet cable; it does not extend Wi-Fi coverage or replace a router, switch, or active repeater.
The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Connector 15117 is a practical networking accessory for joining two Ethernet cables without replacing an existing cable run. Its compact shielded design, broad cable-category compatibility, and support for speeds of up to 10Gbps make it suitable for home, office, and other wired networking installations. For the best results, use compatible cables and network equipment, and ensure the total cable length meets the requirements of your connection.
