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

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N235-001-SH-6AD is a Cat6A shielded straight-through modular inline coupler designed to join two Cat6A patch cables end-to-end or to serve as a keystone-style insert in compatible faceplates and surface-mount boxes. It maintains the full shielded channel integrity required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet runs, making it a clean solution for extending structured cabling runs without re-termination. The inline design passes signal straight through with no cross-over. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this device as part of permanent or semi-permanent structured cabling installations in commercial and residential settings.

This coupler is suited for data cabling installations where a shielded Cat6A channel must be maintained from patch panel to workstation outlet or between two cable segments. It fits into standard keystone-compatible faceplates, surface-mount enclosures, and patch panels that accept modular inserts. Typical applications include office network buildouts, data center structured cabling, and any installation requiring a shielded 10GbE-rated inline connection point.

Key Features

• Cat6A rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shielded structured cabling runs
• Shielded construction maintains channel shield continuity across the inline connection
• Straight-through (non-crossover) signal path for standard patch cable extensions
• Modular insert form factor fits standard keystone-compatible faceplates and enclosures
• Single-unit packaging for precise quantity ordering on small or large installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style modular insert for use with Cat6A shielded cabling systems and standard keystone-compatible faceplates, surface-mount boxes, and patch panels that accept modular inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with applicable structured cabling standards. Verify that the shielding on the coupler is bonded to the overall cable shield and grounded properly at the panel end to maintain shield effectiveness. De-energize any PoE or active network equipment connected to the cable segment before handling. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the connected Cat6A cables during routing.
