FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Tripp Lite N235-001-SH-6A coupler?
The Tripp Lite N235-001-SH-6A is a Cat6a straight-through modular shielded coupler designed to connect two Cat6a patch cords to create one longer cable. It's primarily used for premise wiring, telecommunications, data networking, and Ethernet connections. The coupler features a keystone design that allows for convenient feed-through patching when used with standard data wallplates.
What are the connector types on this coupler?
The coupler features RJ-45 female connectors on both ends (F/F). Each end has 1 x RJ-45 Network Female connector, allowing for straight-through connections of Cat6a cables. The contacts are gold-plated (50-µinch) to ensure superior conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Is this coupler compatible with other cable categories?
Yes, the N235-001-SH-6A is backward compatible with multiple cable categories. While it's optimized for Cat6a performance, it works perfectly with Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 LANs. It's compatible with all Cat6a cables regardless of wire size, making it a versatile solution for various network setups.
What protection features does this coupler offer?
The coupler features a protective metal housing that's fully shielded to reduce EMI/RFI interference, which can damage or degrade data transmission. The contacts are 50-µinch gold-plated to resist corrosion, and the entire unit is built for ultra-fast performance while maintaining signal integrity.
What certifications and compliance standards does this coupler meet?
The N235-001-SH-6A is UL-listed and meets all requirements for EIA/TIA Category 6A compliance. It's also RoHS compliant for environmental standards and is TAA compliant. The product is manufactured in Taiwan and comes with Tripp Lite's lifetime warranty.
