    Hi Davis, the coupler is intended for RJ45 connectors. Cable types beyond CAT 5e employing the RJ45 may or not perform as intended.

      Did not notably reduce bandwidth!
      In today’s world of wireless devices, some of still use wired devices or our infrastructure needs as wired devices are USUALLY more reliable when it comes to running our home routers. Having said that, wiring home networks through walls in a 200 year old home isn’t the easiest (at least for me) so sometimes a quick extension to cat 5 cables is needed. I wondered if adding this device to the run of cat 5 from my router to an extender would bring down the speed, but I was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t. Now my test isn’t scientific by any means so here are the steps I took: 1. Run 15 tests from my extender with the current configuration. Average download speed was about 238 Mbps 2. Use the in line Ethernet cord coupler and attach a 12’ cat 5 patch cable 3. Run the same 15 tests, download speed average was about 236 Mbps The only “complaint” I have is the almond color, the rest of my out covers are white so it would be nice to have a white option. The coupler is small and doesn’t take a lot of room.

      A great way to connect two Ethernet cables to extend their reach
      This Ethernet cable in-line cord coupler is a lifesaver. It connects two Ethernet cables together to make one longer Ethernet cable. It is very compact and easy to use. The cables snap in securely and are easily removed. This coupler is high quality and sturdy. I store it in my laptop bag and use it when I’m at a location where I need to connect my laptop to an Ethernet port but it’s not close enough for my standard 6’ cable length I bring with me. I just take out this adapter, plug it into the existing Ethernet cable the company provided, plug my Ethernet cable into the other side of the adapter, and then into my laptop. No more awkward working situations where I’m limited to stretching the Ethernet cable to its limits and risking damaging my laptop Ethernet port under the stress. This is a must have tool for anyone who uses Ethernet cables. I received this a part of a promotion and already purchased more to have with me.

      A must have accessory.
      This ethernet cable coupler is a part of the multiple accessories in networking and is essential in extending the length of the ethernet cable (Cat Cable), thereby eliminating the need to splice or replace the cat cable. It also doesn't affect the strength of the signal which is ideal in a business office situation where rush hours are always common. Ethernet cable is known to be safer from malicious intrusion than wi-fi connections. Ethernet cable is widely used for connecting multiple desktop computers by using a multiport gigabit switch connected to a router, without a wi-fi interface, that requires cable or hardwire connections to access the internet. An ethernet splitter is also available to connect and split an ethernet line into one or more connections. The only disadvantage with that is the degradation of speed or bandwidth when accessing the internet. Because a gigabit switch is powered by an electric adapter while a splitter is not.

      I had to do a little searching but I did find it. It works well with no connective issues. I’m glad I could park easily and quickly get what I needed. Thanks Home Depot.

      It being available was more of my rating. It is frustrating when you're trying to connect these cables and lengthwise is the issue. These connectors are a life saver.
