The DataPro Ethernet splicer is a
coupler for standard ethernet patch
cables on 10-Base-T, 100-Base-TX, and
1000-Base Gigabit networks.
The 1775-FF is rated at CAT-5e 100Mhz,
while the 1660-FF is rated at CAT-6 250MHz.
Both connectors are RJ45 female and are
wired EIA/TIA 568-B.
The distance limitation per segment of
CAT5e cable is 100 meters or 328 feet.
These connectors will connect two cables
together, but may reduce signal strength
to below the 100 meter maximum.
Because each connector in a run is a potential
vector for signal loss and interference, wherever possible we recommend the use of longer Ethernet patch cables
instead of couplers.
