Bought this because I had a handful of cables that almost reached the distance I needed to go. Rather than shelling out for a new, longer cable, I was able to get there using this coupler. Good fit, great price, fast shipping.

For those who are new to computers (or just buying cables): This coupler does not work with all Cat5e cables, only RJ45 cables. 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. For 100Base-T Ethernet Cat5e applications use Belkin R6G050." Whatever that means - since none of my cables say 100Base-T on them either. 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). So, anyway, if you don't have a cable that actually has RJ45 on it, do NOT buy this.

Not much to say here. It works for me. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't feel as solid as it could but so far, so good.
