Works great!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to extend my Ethernet and this worked perfectly. I installed security cameras and didn’t know if these did POE ( Power Over Ethernet ) the online description doesn’t say that but in store the package says it does. Just in case someone else is looking like I was.

Excellent , reasonably priced.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got the job done , allowed them (DirecTV) for first time in 10+ years to register/establish an internet connection to this specific DVR after losing home tel line to another office device 10 years ago. Able to connect home router to my DirecTV HD DVR using this handy coupler x 3, and allow easy browsing of their movie library, pick my favorite adventure/drama/war movies to watch. Needed 3 of these couplers to bridge the gap from TV area to router room in basement and the price for each coupler was reasonably priced. The electronics person was extremely helpful in finding this coupler and getting the needed footage of cat cabling to make all this happen.

Q: Questioncan a cat6 cable be used with this? I would order one but need one today ?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Since I’ve seen conflicting answers here I wanted to give you a definite answer based on personal experience. The short answer is “YES” the coupler fine with cat6. I needed to add an additional outdoor surveillance camera at my house and ordered a 100’ cat6 cable along with the camera. While running the cable through the walls and attic I realized that the 100’ wasn’t long enough. Rather than return the cable I bought a 50’ cat 6 cable and this coupler from Best Buy. It works great without any loss of signal so if you need to join 2 cat6 cables don’t hesitate to purchase this coupler.

Q: Questioncan cat 5 cable be run outside
Asked by vince.
- A:Answer It can but if it's only rated for indoor use, the outer cover of the cable is going to weather and crack in the sun and eventually fail. If you run it inside conduit then it's fine. If you don't have conduit you'll have to purchase the more expensive outdoor cat5 that has a weather proof outer layer.

Q: Questioni have a laptop computer that only has a rj45 port. Can I used this to connect with a CAT6 cable and then to my cable modem router?
Asked by wtm113.
- A:Answer CAT6 connectors are RJ45. But Yes. The only issue you may run into is that CAT6 support up to 250 MHz, which is twice the amount as CAT5e, however it may not be a change mattering on your network and your network adapter inside your computer.

Q: QuestionI have cat 7 cable and this coupler is cat 5. Does it really matter or will this create any noticeable problems?
Asked by mptnla.
- A:Answer It will work, and I wouldn't worry about it, but technically your performance could be slightly degraded. I think there is very little chance of that degradation being significant enough to notice in any way, but....if you can just get a longer Cat 7 wire, it would be better than using a coupler, no matter what its rating.

Q: QuestionDoes this device have openings on each side? And if I use it as an extender in the middle from my modem to my home office laptop will it work.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes. It has an opening on each side. Plug in your ethernet cable from your modem into one side and another ethernet cable to your laptop into the other side. It essentially acts like a longer ethernet cable.
