This is a Cat7 Network Coupler.
It joins two RJ45 cables to make a longer cable.
I tested it on my home network, and on this gigabit network the speeds attained were the maximum possible.
Being Cat7, it should be capable for 10Gbps, but I don’t have a device with which to test this.
There is a minor pulling-away of the plastic sheath from one side, but it doesn’t affect the function.
I also note what another reviewer stated, which is that the shielding is not continuous between the two sides – I confirm this.
I don’t know whether a continuous shielding is part of the Cat7 specifications – probably yes, but for my uses, it didn’t matter.
At the current list price of 3.99, it is good value for money.
There’s not a great deal to report upon for an item like this, it either works or it doesn’t. Using a standard portable network tester I can confirm that whilst the usual RJ45 eight pins are connected properly, the through screening is broken. So if you’re connecting CAT 7 SFTP cables it might be worth bearing in mind there will be no continuity to the screening.
The listing shows a “Full Metal Sheilding” assembley (photograph three on listing.) This is incorrect as my network tester confirmed no continuity of screening. Dissection also confirmed this (see images.)
For all other network cables with UTP construction the coupler will work perfectly.
Good, well made connecto
