IP68: waterproof and dustproof

The coupler has a screwable strain relief to protect the wires from tension and stress. The screw-on strain relief also ensures that the coupler is dustproof and waterproof. The coupler is suitable for solid or stranded cables with AWG 22-26 wires and an outer jacket diameter of 4.5-7.5mm.

User scenarios

The ACT CAT6A Outdoor IP68 network cable coupler’s weatherproof housing provides a secure, reliable and protected connection, especially in environments with dust, moisture and physical stress.

Extend cable length: If the existing patch cable is not long enough to reach the desired endpoint, a coupler can be used to connect an additional cable, extending the total length without having to replace the entire cable.

Temporary installations: In situations where a temporary network setup is required, such as events, exhibitions or temporary workstations, a coupler allows for quick and easy connections without the need for permanent cabling solutions.

Repair damaged cables: If a network cable becomes damaged, cutting out the damaged section and using a coupler to connect the remaining good sections can be a quick fix, eliminating the need to install a completely new cable.

Field work and emergency repairs: In field work or emergency repair scenarios where quick and reliable connections are critical, couplers provide a convenient solution for extending or repairing cables in the field.

Network expansion: When expanding a network to new areas within a building or campus, couplers can be used to connect existing cables to new ones, facilitating expansion without the need for extensive new cabling.
