For 100Base-T Ethernet Cat5e applications use Belkin R6G050." Whatever that means - since none of my cables say 100Base-T on them either. For those who are new to computers (or just buying cables): This coupler does not work with all Cat5e cables, only RJ45 cables. So, anyway, if you don't have a cable that actually has RJ45 on it, do NOT buy this. The price was so low it's not even worth trying to return it (assuming they would take it back since I opened the package). It would have been nice if the product description said "ONLY works with RJ45 cables." I have two 50' Cat5e Patch cables also made by Belkin and a 6' Trisonic networking cable and the coupler does NOT work with ANY of them. The back of the package says "the use of a coupler in a network environment is not Cat5e certified.
I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't feel as solid as it could but so far, so good. Not much to say here. It works for me.
What more can I say from a trusted source Belkin. Purchased this coupler to extend my ethernet cable. Works like charm and have no problems.
Recieved in 2 days with Amazon Prime I bought this coupler to extend the length of 2 CAT 5 patch cables. Works perfect for my situation.
It is a very utilitarian item, not much to add to that.It isn't fair to give the product one star though for poor shipping practices by the Amazon sellers, even if they are outrageous. The product does what it says.
