Questions & Answers

Is cat7 going to be used? Although the amazon product page claims this will be up to Cat7, the actual sticker on the product indicates this will only be up to Cat6. When it comes to 6, 7, what's the difference?

There is an increase in transmission speed, as well as reduced interference and greater distance using Cat6 wires, since they are wound tighter, with nylon spline, and shielding to reduce crosstalk and Although the obvious benefit of Cat6 cables is that the speeds increase to an insane 10 Gbps, the detail is that these speeds are limited to 55 meter distances, which is shorter than Cat5 or Cat5E runs, and at longer distances it falls Although Cat6 provides faster speeds on shorter runs, the downside is that the wires are stiffer and therefore more difficult to bend and terminate, and the thicker wires are more difficult to use. The Cat6 variant has traditionally been more expensive than Cat5e, but that price barrier has decreased as time has gone on. Cat6a *br>Cat6a is the next variant, and the "a" after the six means "augmented". This new range of cables are thicker and more heavily shielded, which virtually eradicates the crosstalk problem that used to limit earlier cabling technology. In contrast to Cat6, Cat6a has a rate of 10 Gbps, however, these lightening speeds are maintained over a distance While thicker cables with better shielding are ideal for industrial applications, their lack of flexibility makes them less suitable for residential applications. A Cat7 & Cat8 network for distances 15 meters, and revert to 10 Gbps for Also on the horizon is a Cat8 standard that is still being finalized, but no gear is currently available, which targets speeds of 40 Gbps when deployed There is a growing demand for "next generation" cables that can be used for data centers and other industrial It's time to make a decision... Now that we have a thorough understanding of the different cables, it's time to pick which one to use. Be aware that Cat5e is the most flexible around turns and corners, which makes it the easiest for a DIY installer to install, with Cat6 thicker, and so on up the scale. In the end, you need to acknowledge that despite the faster speeds likely coming to Cat5e, this older standard has plenty of life left. However, you also need to think about the long-term goal of "future-proofing" your Wiring is a project to install, and the labor cost, when performed by professionals, almost always exceeds the materials cost as a result. It is often tempting to spend more than necessary in the hope that the network will last longer than There are two option for those who want to use the router Cat6 or Cat6a. You must also realize that virtually all consumer gear, such as routers and motherboards are manufactured in foreign countries

What are the pros and cons of this system for extending POE ?

The one (white color bought in 2017) has been connected to a POE Security Camera Equipment system by means of CAT 5e 568b wires. My NVR went bad in less than five seconds after it began smoking. There was also a circuit board on the coupler, indicating the coupler went beyond just hooking up wires. There is no way for me to determine why the failure occurred. In our test, we connected a spare DVR and a black replacement coupler, the same brand, and the cameras sent data to the DVR without error. In this case, it appears to be nothing more than a coupler, so why is there a circuit board?

As I noticed, you mentioned two cables that were too short. What if I use a long Ethernet cable?

Unless you mean long Ethernet cables, RJ45 couples cannot be used with long cables. As long as there is at least 100 meters between the two points, it will work. * Thank you for your inquiry and for your

What if I want to use this to connect a cat 7 cable to another cat 7 cable to extend it?

Thanks for your question. Yes, the RJ45 coupler supports the connection you describe. To ensure the Ethernet cable's total length is under 100 meters, please ensure it is less than that. It is my hope that it will help.

The cleats do the job, and they're pretty tough! John Carl Sr
5/5

The Bottom Line for the Review All in all, I'd say "RJ45 Coupler, Ugreen - In-line Array" is a good product. Cat 7/Cat 6/Cat 5e Ethernet Cable Extender Adapter Female to Female (Black)"
Overall, I would order this product The pros are Please note that. Everything worked as it should, there was no signal loss. Please note that. It appears to be a good initial build quality
- I think it's robust and The cons are Please note that. Although it's not small, it is quite slim. I'm connecting a 50 foot Cat5e cable to a 30 foot Cat 6 cable and am still pulling down 300-500 ft of cable. I am down 350 points and am up 30 points on Xfinity. This is what happens when you use a In conclusion, I rate this coupler as FIVE STARS for CARL JR. Thanks for taking the time to read this review, if it didn't help give me a like, if not let me know why in the comments!.

It is important to pair cables with identical impeadance when extending long CAT7 cables
5/5

My modem/router is installed three rooms away from my desktop computer and I connect it with a 100' CAT7 cable via a 16' CAT7 extension cable. An UGREEN RJ45 coupler is used to connect them. Download speeds measured by my computer are more than 210 Mbits/sec as if my machine were sitting right next to the cable My internet connection has a speed of 200 Mbit, and I am very happy with it.

The speed of the site decreases a bit going through it
4/5

The speed of my computer decreases a bit during this process. One star is taken away because the decrease is more dramatic than it should be. As an example, I get 700 MB/s with a router connected to a device connected using two Cat6 cables It delivers about 800 Mbps with this in the middle, but it gets 950 Mbps if I use a straight cable.

There is a slowdown in speed
3/5

I have noticed that my speeds are significantly degraded even though this product claims lossless speed. With the addition of the adapter, I went from gigabite internet (*980 down) to, and I ran this multiple times to confirm it, 98mbps down. There are those who may have a different experience than I do, but for me the few bucks is not worth it. A direct hardwired connection was used for all of the speed tests.

This is great except when high throughput is needed, in which case it's not the connector's fault
3/5

I bought it because I had to put together two 50' CAT 6 cables for a ridiculous application that required high throughput. My first step was to try an IO Gear wireless dingus (pretty great!) and instantly imagined (fault of my own) that with this connection I would get a higher throughput than anything I could in the cable/connector scenario.
For the first time, I knew that I would suffer a loss. However, I did not know how large it would be until I had tried. Whenever you have a termination, you are going to lose. The majority of people probably won't notice it, and I'll bet 99+% of them When you need a high throughput option when you're using the connector, get the IO Gear wireless adapter and get it all the way up to your router. I am amazed at how fast it is. I have no complaints regarding it, other than the fact it did not work for my misapplication. The cable connection works well, it is very easy to use, it has a good look, acts well, and it is also very inexpensive. It will be a great experience for almost everyone. My gear will be thrown in the pile I keep tucked away for when I need it, and I know I will be able to use it in the future. This is a very good thing to have around, and I would never hesitate to put it in any normal location.

IT'S NOT A My friend and I have been looking for a good rj45 coupler for a long time now, so we decided to buy this one at a reasonable price
3/5

My first experience with it was as soon as I got With a 1 Gb/s connection on a net gear nighthawk router, it goes into my attic with cat 8 and into my bedroom wall with cat 6. The end of this cord comes out of the wall with a male connector attached to it. My computer had a gigabit Ethernet port on it, so I connected it to it and plugged the other end into my desktop. It was disappointing to discover that I was getting only Having checked my connection, I even connected my laptop, which also has gigabit Ethernet (work computer), straight to the line coming from the wall (I received 1GB/s In my experiment, when I didn't use the coupler, I was getting my regular speeds, while when I did use the coupler, I was getting less than 1/4 speed. If you use standard non-compliant devices for home networking, it won't pose an issue If you are looking for enterprise speeds under 200Mbps, this is not a good choice if you require 300Mbps and above, this is not a good choice. It is not always convenient to have to use my small laptop to move files sometimes larger than 1TB to an offsite server and I need an adequate connection there so that I don't always have to use the can't handle anything above the bare minimum and it's not fit for anything more For those with high-speed connections, get something else instead of the standard internet connection. The speed of your internet may not be as fast as it should be.

I had a slow internet connection
3/5

I lost a lot of mbps when I used it, as I connected cat6 to cat6 and my internet went from 400 mbps to 120, so perhaps it is just me, but it seems to slow down the Internet.

Performance does not lag at all
5/5

By RJ45 ethernet cable, I was able to extend my Ethernet connection from one side of a 15' x 13' room (where the builders visualized the entertainment center) to the opposite side of the room (where the builders visualize the sofa). When I found these babies (UGREEN coupler), they looked great visually, the product specs matched up with what I needed, and "bang", I had my two 3-inch devices in hand. The solution to my problem was to purchase audioquadruple Vodka RJ45 cables. There are 20 nations in the world There are rocks that combine to be over a foot long. *Summary of Performance- As a consequence, the images and sounds I experienced with the Audioquest Vodka's are the same as if I had plugged just one cable into the connection. As a result of Audioquest Cinnamon RJ45s in the bedroom, I did exactly the same thing. The short version is this Savings are made both in time and in money with this coupler.
