This line of eight Ethernet mini-couplers is designed to provide the same performance as full-size Ethernet couplers, but the mini-couplers are less than 1 in long. The short, light couplers maximize usable space behind the panel. This design provides more room for installers to work behind racks, panels or enclosures; improves air flow; and reduces stress on cable exits, ensuring that the mating assembly’s bend radius is not exceeded. These mini-couplers are available with three options: Cat. 5e or Cat. 6 rating, shielded or unshielded and either in-line or keystone style.
