DIGITUS DN-93513 RJ45 coupling Cat5e RJ45 -> RJ45 shielded panel content_copy

The DIGITUS Modular Coupler DN-93513 is a shielded connection component for networks, specifically designed for mounting in patch panels. As a CAT 5e component, it enables data transmission up to a frequency of 100 MHz and supports network standards such as 10/100Base-T and 1000Base-T (1GBase-T). The coupler features two RJ45 sockets in 8P8C format, wired in 1:1 configuration, ensuring direct, unaltered signal transmission. The construction is designed for use in 19-inch enclosures with a mounting width of 483 mm.

Applications

The coupler is intended for use in structured cabling systems, particularly in server rooms, data centers, or for extending network cables within patch panels. It is suitable for applications requiring stable and interference-free data transmission, such as connecting switches, routers, or other network devices. Support for 1GBase-T also makes it suitable for modern Gigabit networks.

Functions and Features in Detail

The coupler is equipped with 360° shielding contact, ensuring complete shielding of the signal conductors. This reduces electromagnetic interference and prevents signal interference, which is especially important in environments with high electromagnetic influence. The sockets are wired in 1:1 configuration, meaning the pins are directly passed through without any rerouting or reconfiguration. The housing color is silver.

Technology Explained Simply

The shielding of the coupler protects data transmission from external electromagnetic interference, which could otherwise cause data loss or errors. The 360° shielding contact ensures that the shield connection is maintained along the entire circumference of the sockets, providing particularly reliable shielding. The 1:1 wiring enables direct, unaltered signal transmission, allowing the coupler to function as a passive connection component that does not cause signal distortion or loss.

Compatibility and Accessories

The coupler complies with standards ISO/IEC 11801 3rd Edition, EN 50173-1, and EIA/TIA 568-C. These standards define requirements for structured cabling systems and ensure compatibility with other network components. The coupler is designed for mounting in standard 19-inch enclosures and can be directly installed in patch panels. No additional components or tools are required for installation.

Mounting and Installation

The coupler is mounted in patch panels, with a mounting width of 483 mm (19 inches) to be considered. Installation is performed by mechanical fastening into the designated mounting openings of the panel. The RJ45 sockets allow direct connection of network cables, with shielding maintained during connection. The coupler is intended for use in enclosed enclosures, requiring no special mounting aids or additional tools.

Operational Advantages

The coupler provides reliable and interference-free data transmission, which is crucial for network stability. The 360° shielding contact ensures high immunity to electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal quality over time. The direct 1:1 wiring guarantees unaltered signal transmission, avoiding additional delays or error sources. Compatibility with the mentioned standards ensures interoperability with other network components.

The coupler is classified as a plug/connector and falls under ear category 6 (ElektroG) for small IT and telecommunications devices, which may also be used in private households. The delivery includes the DIGITUS CAT 5e Class E Modular Coupler, shielded.
