  • QuestionWill this work connecting a 50 foot cable to a 15 or 25 foot cable? It says 2 short cables. Would the longer cables reduce speed?

    Asked by Dealn.

    • Answer Yes, the Insignia™ Cat-6 RJ-45 In-Line Coupler can connect a 50-foot cable to a 15 or 25-foot cable. While the coupler is designed to connect two shorter cables, it can handle longer cables as well. However, using longer cables can potentially reduce the speed and reliability of your connection due to signal degradation over extended distances. For optimal performance, it's generally recommended to keep individual cable lengths under 100 meters (328 feet) to maintain high-speed data transfers up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps). If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

  • QuestionWould a cat 7 cable work? Or would it restrict the bandwith.

    Asked by Matt.

    • Answer Thank you for your Inquiry! Using a Cat 7 cable with an Insignia™ Cat-6 RJ-45 In-Line Coupler may restrict the bandwidth to that of a Cat 6 cable. The performance of the connection is typically limited by the lower-rated component, which in this case would be the Cat-6 coupler. While physically connecting a Cat 7 cable through the coupler may be feasible, it's recommended to use matching components for optimal performance. To achieve the maximum potential bandwidth of a Cat 7 cable, it's best to use it with compatible Cat 7 connectors and couplers.
