Unlock New Capabilities

• If you've already experimented with basic breadboard circuits, custom plastic panel cutouts, or basic unshielded Cat6 keystone jacks, you know how fragile exposed cabling can be in a custom housing or outdoor enclosure.
• This CAT6A Round Pass-Through Coupler unlocks rugged, industrial-grade network passthroughs for outdoor IoT gateways, custom metal enclosures, server rack panels, and sealed control boxes. It allows you to maintain full 10Gbps transmission speeds while sealing your enclosure against dust, moisture, and mechanical strain.
• Effort Level: Beginner

Minimum hardware to get started:

• CAT6A Ethernet Patch Cables (2x): required to connect your interior networking device to the inner female port, and your external network line to the outer female port.
• Enclosure Panel with 22mm Cutout: required to physically mount the threaded coupler body and secure it using the included locking nut.

Included in the Box:

• 1× CAT6A Round Pass Through Panel Mount RJ45 Female Coupler

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this coupler backwards compatible with standard CAT6 and CAT5e cables?
  Yes, it uses standard RJ45 female sockets on both ends, making it fully compatible with CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT6A Ethernet cables.
• Can I use this pass-through coupler with PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
  Yes, it supports standard IEEE 802.3af/at/bt PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ power transmission without dropping voltage or overheating.
• Does this coupler fit standard 22mm round panel cutouts?
  Yes, the threaded outer housing is engineered to fit standard 22mm industrial panel cutouts cleanly.
• Will this connector work with shielded (STP/FTP) Ethernet patch cords?
  Yes, the internal RJ45 sockets feature metal shielding tabs that maintain continuous ground shielding across both connected cables.
• Does transmitting high-wattage PoE through this coupler generate heat?
  No, the low-resistance gold-plated copper contacts easily handle standard PoE current levels up to 90W without noticeable heat buildup.
• Can this coupler handle high-voltage industrial environment exposure?
  The connector passes data and low-voltage network signals only; the anodized metal housing safely insulates internal signals from panel ground loops when properly isolated.
• Does pass-through connection cause voltage drop on long network runs?
  No, high-grade gold-plated contacts ensure negligible contact resistance, keeping signal degradation well within CAT6A compliance limits.
• Do I need a punch-down tool or crimper to wire this connector?
  No, it is a female-to-female pass-through coupler that simply receives pre-terminated male RJ45 plugs on both sides.
• Does the internal wiring follow T568A or T568B pinout standards?
  It features straight-through 1:1 pin mapping, meaning it transparently passes through whatever standard (T568A or T568B) your patch cables use.
• Which side of the panel should the rubber gasket be placed on?
  Position the rubber gasket on the exterior (outside) surface of the panel before inserting the coupler and tightening the rear nut inside.
