C2G CG01937 RJ45 8-pin Modular Inline Coupler Straight

Product Description

The C2G / CABLES TO GO - LEGRAND CG01937 is a straight RJ45 8-pin modular inline coupler designed to join two RJ45-terminated Ethernet cables end-to-end. The coupler passes all eight conductors straight through without crossover, maintaining signal integrity across the connection point. It is a passive device with no active components, making it a simple and reliable solution for extending existing patch cable runs or reconnecting a damaged cable segment. Network technicians, electricians, and low-voltage installers commonly use this type of coupler during structured cabling installations, equipment moves, or temporary network extensions.

This inline coupler is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial network environments. It accepts standard RJ45 plugs on both ports and is appropriate for use with Cat5e, Cat6, and similar 8-conductor twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. Typical applications include patching network drops in data closets, extending desk-level patch cables, and field repairs where a full cable replacement is not practical. The unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by low-voltage technicians or qualified network installers.

Key Features

• Straight-through wiring configuration passes all 8 pins without crossover
• Accepts standard RJ45 plugs on both ports for tool-free cable joining
• Passive construction with no active components for reliable, maintenance-free use
• Compact form factor suits use in wall plates, patch panels, or open cable runs
• Sold as a single unit for targeted repairs or extensions

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RJ45 inline coupler compatible with 8-conductor twisted-pair Ethernet patch cables terminated with RJ45 plugs, as typically used in Cat5e and Cat6 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — insert RJ45 plugs from each cable into opposite ports of the coupler until each plug clicks into place. Low-voltage installers should verify that the total combined cable length does not exceed the maximum segment length specified for the cabling standard in use. Where the coupler is installed in a wall plate or enclosure, ensure the housing provides adequate strain relief to prevent stress on the plug locking tabs. Follow applicable structured cabling standards such as TIA-568 for channel length and connection limits.
