GEMBIRD 8P8C Inline Coupler, 10 Pieces Bag

The Gembird TA-350/10 is a compact in-line coupler that connects two Ethernet cables with 8P8C (RJ-45) terminations. Finished in beige, this cable gender changer provides a simple way to join or extend network patch cords without altering existing connectors, suitable for home and office networking setups.

Advantages

This 8C in-line coupler has two 8P8C RJ-45 female connectors, enabling a direct connection between two Ethernet cables. Its small footprint allows installation in confined spaces and makes it easy to carry as a spare network accessory. The passive design requires no power or configuration and preserves the original cable terminations.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet runs by joining two patch cords
• Converting cable ends to match existing RJ-45 ports
• Temporary network connections in offices or homes

Key specifications

• Connector 1: 8P8C RJ-45 (female)
• Connector 2: 8P8C RJ-45 (female)
• Product colour: Beige
• Model / MPN: TA-350-10

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plug of one Ethernet cable into one side of the coupler and the RJ-45 plug of the second cable into the opposite side. Ensure plugs are fully seated until the latch clicks. No tools or configuration are required; once connected, devices on either end of the combined cable should communicate according to the network equipment and cable category in use.

Recommendations

Use the coupler for short, non-permanent extensions or gender changes. For long permanent runs or high-performance links, consider using a single continuous cable of the appropriate category to maintain signal integrity and meet category-specific performance requirements.
