RJ45 Coupler Female To 8 Pin Screw Terminal - Cat7 Cat6 Cat5e Ethernet Adapter For CCTV DVR Systems

About This Product

Okay, this RJ45 coupler is one of those specialized adapters that's super useful if you work with CCTV or security systems. It converts from a standard RJ45 female jack to an 8-pin screw terminal block, which is commonly used with digital DVR systems. The wiring follows the EIA/TIA 568B standard, which is the same standard used in most structured cabling systems, so it's compatible with Cat7, Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 Ethernet cables. The construction is pretty solid - it's made from plastic and metal components, and it measures about 42x35x20mm, so it's compact but durable. It's designed specifically for use with hubs that have RJ45 video ports, and it works with both solid and stranded UTP cable. Now, important note - this is NOT compatible with RJ11 phone jacks, so make sure you're using it with proper Ethernet cables. It also can't be used with keystone jacks - it's really meant for direct connections in CCTV installations. The screw terminal side makes it easy to make secure connections without needing special tools beyond a screwdriver. The design includes a secure retaining clip to keep things connected properly. If you're setting up or maintaining security camera systems and need to interface between standard Ethernet cabling and DVR equipment with screw terminals, this little adapter can save you a lot of time and hassle. It's one of those niche products that you might not know you need until you're in the middle of an installation and realize the connections don't match up. The quality seems decent for the price, and having the proper wiring standard means you shouldn't have signal or compatibility issues.
