VCELINK Waterproof RJ45 Coupler IP68 Short Profile, Cat6/Cat5E/Cat5 Waterproof Ethernet Connector Shielded, Outdoor Network LAN Cable Extender PoE, 3.23in (Blue-6 Pack)

I installed these 12 months ago and to my amazement they really work. I couldn't justify purchasing another reel of CAT5. (Well I thought I couldn't anyway) And so I needed to splice two pieces together outside and in the middle of a ditch. This is the type of situation I try to avoid if at all possible. But after some research I discovered this product and decided to try it. From the picture you can see that the CAT5 is outdoor grade. But I fished it through some plastic waterline for extra protection. A piece of drain pipe from an old kitchen sink made a decent "joiner" for the water line. The " Waterproof RJ45 Coupler" is safely inside this junction. For some projects you need to get it right the first time. I purchased the 3-pack and ended up using two of them. The second one is above ground hanging in a lean-to. I've experienced no problems with it either. Please be very careful to not over-twist the couplers because there is a silicone seal or o-ring that may squeeze itself out of place. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the product prior to installation. Overall I'd say it was worth the gamble and worthy of my trust. What a great solution!

This ethernet coupler is excellent for outdoor use. The previous installers for our outdoor camera system used a cheap indoor rated coupler that failed in under 3 months on our roof. We have since switched it over to these couplers and the system is back up and running again. These were incredibly easy to install as you just need to unscrew both ends and insert the network cable thru. It seals the cable in as you twist the cap. Overall, I would recommend these for outdoor use to make sure your camera system stays up and running!

These waterproof RJ45 couplers are excellent for outdoor network connections. The IP68 rating means they're truly waterproof and the connection is solid. Great for outdoor ethernet runs.

Needed a temporary fix to a run in a tree after the arborists chopped the cable. This worked fantastic until we can replace the cable completely. Download/upload speeds are running at peak performance! Product arrived quickly, in good condition, and at the right price. Highly recommended.

Very pleased with the quality and durability of these. I ran an extensive length of cat6 about 10 inches below the surface of the grass. I had a few connection points I wanted to be sure were sealed from water/rain and exposure to outside and these are perfect.

I use these in ground boxes. Connection wise I've never had any issues. I recently have had massive corrosion on some. Pictures show both ends of the coupler was damaged. UPDATE: after I posted my original review the manufacturer reached out to me. They offered to replace my order with new and refund my purchase price. I thought it unfair for them do both and opted for them to replace the damaged couplers. They sent me the replacements with and upgraded version. The upgraded version has an orange color instead of the blue. The newer version also supports cat6a connections. I was very impressed with their communication and offer. While I absolutely had the failure. In all honesty it could have been something my team didn't do correctly. Maybe they didn't tighten the coupler correctly, maybe the wire was just a bit out of spec. I've had many product failures from Amazon resellers. None have stepped up as VCE has done.

Works perfectly with junction boxes that have 3/4" outlets. I use some burial rated, shielded network cabling for exposed portions. The great thing about a setup like this, is while there may be SOME exposed or otherwise unprotected cabling, and in turn there is flexibility in placement and mounting of the camera. And, worst case scenario would mean having to re-do a small portion of cabling. So... do you want flexibility, or not? After considering other reviews, I can say the way I'm using these plugs is distinctly different. I am not submersing anything under water, but I am using it to protect cabling from rain and the elements. One thing I know, is even if something is rated as waterproof, I'm not going to trust it to go as others would think. Waterproof the waterproofing. Sounds redundant, but maybe take some time to consider best practices against your method. In the same vain, I wouldn't trust using it as a junction box connector in a place where water can collect, like on the ground. I know I'll be buying more of these, because I can find comprable solution at a cheaper price as of yet.

buen producto para la conexion efica.

Goed systeem.Beetje handigheid nodig.

Ho avuto l'occasione di installare l'accoppiatore in un pozzetto dove era presente quello interno con protezione da nastro isolante.. un vero schifo.. tramite l'intersezione ho finalmente risolto sia il problema del restringimento che di umidità passi praticamente 0. Consiglio di utilizzare cavi di rete con doppia guaina per uso esterno e plug cat6 con gommino per una lunga durata. TUTTO PERFETTO!! Grazie

Great for repairing a poe camera which had become water damaged

Prima compacte koppeling die tegen vocht kan. Zou deze niet in het (grond)water leggen, maar voor vochtige omgeving prima product in relatie tot de prijs

Excellent product. Do not over tighten the ends and you are fine. I have several in operation working on a farm where cables have been cut by accident due to renovations. They have survived an East coast Canadian winter (lots of ice and snow). Thread your Ethernet cables in to the device first before terminating them. It does not matter if you use EIA568B or A wiring standards on the RJ45 connectors because at the centre of this item is a pass through connector wired 1 to 1. You need to make sure that you use the same wiring standards at the inbound and outbound sides of this connector so that the same wiring standard continues across this device.
