Tripp Lite RJ45 Female Coupler

The Tripp Lite N033-001 is a straight-through modular in-line coupler designed to join two RJ45 patch cables. It provides a simple way to extend an existing network connection without replacing the cable run. The black housing contains one female port on each end for a direct link. This accessory suits installers and home users needing a quick length adjustment.

Suits temporary joins and permanent extensions

This coupler works for anyone who must bridge two terminated cables in an office, server rack or home network. It does not amplify signals, so buyers who need longer runs beyond standard cable limits should look at active extension or switch solutions. It also cannot convert between different connector types or cable categories.

Straight-through RJ45 female-to-female wiring

The single specification that decides fit is the straight-through pin-out connecting one RJ45 female connector to another RJ45 female connector. This wiring preserves the standard Ethernet pin assignment across the joint. Verify that both cables use the same wiring scheme before installing the coupler.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Tripp Lite N033-001 coupler between two patch cables?

Insert each RJ45 plug into one of the 1 x RJ-45 female ports until the latch clicks; the step people miss is fully seating both connectors so the straight-through pinout stays aligned.

What maintenance or replacement will the N033-001 need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the coupler only if the plastic housing cracks or the internal contacts corrode after repeated insertions.

What limit appears first when the coupler is used continuously in a long cable run?

Signal attenuation across the combined cable length becomes the limiting factor; the passive coupler adds no active components that can overheat or throttle.
