    I had an immediate need to get a longer network cable than I had available, but I did have two shorter cables that would have sufficed, if I had a coupler.

    This is the most expensive inline cat5 coupler you can buy. Considering that it's littler more than a tiny plastic box with a few connection wires in it, I can't believe they have the nerve to charge [$]. A quick look around the internet will turn these up for half or 1/5th of the price, but like any cables or similar accessories you buy at big box stores, you get ripped off for stuff like this so they can sell big ticket items cheaper.

                  I am interested in moving the fax machine within my office, but was told that I cannot because the line is in one area of the space. If I purchase this item, will I be able to connect my fax machine where ever I want within the office?

                    The Staples CAT5e Inline Coupler is intended for CAT5 ethernet connections only. Fax machines use RJ11 (also known as phone line jacks) connections. This coupler will not work in the case you have mentioned.

                    Yes, you can use this adapter to couple two Cat 5e or other RJ-45 Ethernet cables together. Also yes, the Ethernet and cat5e is the same thing.

                • Q:

                  I am looking for something to connect cat5 cables together...making my own "extension cord" of cable to use the various lenghths of cable I already have. Would this do it? I only see one end of the device in this picture. It would need to have the same end (as is visible) on both ends. Does it?

                    This does have the same connection on both ends, and can serve as an extension cable for a cat5 network cable!
