Shielded D-Type CAT6 Panel Coupler

This Zebra PL188 coupler joins two RJ45 cables through a panel cut-out. Each unit is a female-to-female bulkhead socket rated to the CAT6 standard and supplied as a two-pack with mounting screws and dust caps. The shielded zinc-alloy housing and gold-plated brass contacts are built for reliable data links in home or industrial settings.

Installers needing a tool-free bulkhead link

The D-type footprint fits standard 86-size panel openings and supports both exposed and concealed mounting without soldering. Buyers who need an inline joiner without a panel, or who require a higher category such as CAT6A or CAT7, should look at a different connector type.

CAT6 250 MHz 10 Gbps rated performance

The coupler meets TIA/EIA 568B and ISO/IEC 11801 specifications, delivering up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz across the mated pair. This bandwidth figure is the deciding factor for whether the part satisfies your network speed requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the 2-pack or look for a different quantity?

The product is sold as a 2-pack containing two RJ45 couplers, two dust caps, and four mounting screws.

What does the 10 Gbps figure mean for my actual network speed?

The coupler supports up to 10 Gbps at 250 MHz per CAT6 protocol, so your link will run at the speed of the slowest cable or device in the chain.

Which panel cut-out standard does the D-type coupler fit?

It uses the standard 86 mm D-type mounting size, compatible with 86 panels, wall plates, floor boxes, and desk grommets.
