Use Cases & Applications

Student Dorm Networking: Extend your router’s reach to a desk on the opposite wall without visible cable runs. The Ugreen NW114 mounts into existing wall plates, creating a clean connection point for your gaming setup or study area.

Office Hot-Desking: Convert temporary workspace areas into permanent network drops by adding keystone couplers to modular furniture panels. This solution works particularly well for co-working spaces that frequently reconfigure layouts.

Cable Repair & Extension: Salvage cables with damaged ends by cutting off the compromised section and joining two good cables together. This approach proves more economical than replacing entire cable runs through walls or ceilings.

Patch Panel Organization: Create custom-length patch cables by using shorter cables with inline couplers, reducing cable clutter in server racks and network closets while maintaining full gigabit speeds.

The Ugreen RJ45 keystone coupler provides a straightforward solution when running new cables isn’t practical. It maintains network performance standards while offering the flexibility to adapt your connections as your space requirements change.
