Tripp Lite N235-001-SH-6A Cat6a Shielded Inline Coupler

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N235-001-SH-6A is a Cat6a shielded straight-through inline modular coupler designed for use as a keystone-style insert in structured cabling installations. It provides a female-to-female pass-through connection that extends or joins Cat6a patch cables without signal degradation. The shielded construction helps maintain signal integrity in environments with elevated electromagnetic interference. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this coupler to terminate cable runs at patch panels, wall plates, or surface-mount boxes where a permanent keystone insert is required.

This coupler is suited for horizontal cabling infrastructure in commercial and residential structured wiring systems running Cat6a Ethernet. It fits standard keystone-compatible wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures. The straight-through configuration makes it a direct in-line solution for extending Cat6a cable segments or creating clean termination points at data outlets. It is sold individually and installs without any special tooling beyond a standard keystone snap-in procedure.

Key Features

• Shielded Cat6a construction supports 10GBase-T applications up to full Cat6a specifications
• Straight-through inline design extends or joins two Cat6a patch cables at a fixed point
• Keystone form factor snaps into standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes
• Shielding reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard keystone insert compatible with Cat6a structured cabling systems using keystone-format wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network cabling installer. Snap the coupler firmly into a keystone-compatible port until it seats fully and the locking tab engages. Ensure the connected patch cables are rated Cat6a to maintain system performance. Follow applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local low-voltage wiring codes for the installation environment.
