cat6 shielded coupler
« on: February 02, 2016, 01:02:49 PM »

Has anyone used a cat6 shielded coupler to join 2 cat6 cables for a stage snake. If so
what was the item you used.

If it matters, I want the option to join a 150 foot to 50 foot

 I use these:

They work fine with Duracat 6e and my pro1.  Although, I am not sure if they are shielded.

That is the right one.  Insulate it from other shielded couplers and do a line test of each wire end to end through the coupler and measure ohms.

This one has the fatal flaw in that it doesn't allow direct connection of Ethercon cables. The lack of Ethercons allows ElectroStatic Discharge (static sparks) to disrupt your signal.

The Neutrik coupler that Doug linked to does have Ethercons on it.

Sorry to be late to the party but I just saw this thread.
