DIGITUS DN-93901 RJ45 coupling Cat5e RJ45 → RJ45 shielded metallized content_copy

The DIGITUS DN-93901 is a modular CAT5e Class D coupling, specifically designed for extending patch cables in the indoor environment. The device consists of two shielded RJ45 sockets, enabling a direct 1:1 wiring. This ensures unchanged signal transmission between two network cables, without signal loss or interference. The coupling is designed as a plug/connector and serves for simple and quick extension of Ethernet connections in IT and telecommunications infrastructures.

Applications

The coupling is intended for use in indoor environments where stable and interference-free data transmission is required. It is suitable, for example, for extending patch cables in server rooms, office installations, or during the installation of network connections in buildings. The shielded design protects data transmission from electromagnetic interference, which is particularly advantageous in environments with high electrical activity.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The coupling features two RJ45 connectors, each implemented as a socket. The 1:1 wiring ensures that signals from individual conductors are transmitted directly, without rerouting or re-cabling. The shielded construction of the RJ45 sockets reduces sensitivity to electromagnetic interference and ensures high signal integrity.

Technology Explained Simply

The CAT5e Class D specification means that the coupling meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 for network components of Category 5e. This includes a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz and is therefore suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The shielding (Shielded) protects the internal conductors from external electromagnetic interference, enhancing signal quality. The RJ45 sockets are standard 8P8C connectors, commonly used in Ethernet networks. The coupling is made of ABS, a halogen-free plastic that meets the UL 94 V0 certification for flame resistance. The circuit board is made of FR4 material with a thickness of 1.2 mm, providing a stable mechanical and electrical foundation.

Compatibility and Accessories

The coupling is compatible with all standard patch cables using RJ45 plugs. It can be directly integrated into existing network infrastructures without requiring additional adapters or converters. Usage is independent of cable color or manufacturer, as long as the RJ45 connection is standard-compliant.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by simply inserting the two RJ45 plugs into the sockets of the coupling. No tools or additional mounting effort is required. The coupling can be directly inserted into existing cable connections to extend the length. The color of the coupling is silver, which allows it to blend well visually in typical network environments.

Operational Advantages

The coupling enables fast and reliable extension of network cables without impairing signal quality. The shielded design ensures high resistance to interference, which is particularly beneficial in environments with electrical devices or other sources of interference. The robust construction and high number of mating cycles guarantee a long service life and reduce maintenance effort. The simple handling makes the coupling suitable even for technical personnel without specialized expertise.
