RJ45 Male–to–Female Panel-Mount Ethernet Extension gives your build a clean, durable network pass-through. Mount the female jack on your case or rack panel, plug the male end into your SBC, switch, or controller inside, and protect the on-board Ethernet port from constant wear. Ideal for Raspberry Pi enclosures, Arduino-based kiosks, 3D printers, CNCs, and robots in the Philippines.
Clean Ethernet Pass-Through — Secure, Serviceable, Build-Ready
- Panel-mount convenience: bring Ethernet to the outside of your enclosure for easy servicing.
- Protects device ports: frequent plug/unplug happens on the replaceable extension—not your board.
- Straight-through wiring: 8P8C (RJ45) male → female; supports 10/100/1000BASE-T when using the proper Cat grade & length.
- Variants for your build: common Cat5e/Cat6, shielded or unshielded, and multiple cable lengths (see options on this page).
- Simple install: bulkhead flange or threaded ring (per variant) with included mounting hardware.
What you can build
- Pi NAS & kiosks: neat LAN jack on a printed/metal panel; Pi stays safely inside.
- Robotics & CNC: strain-relieved network tether for field updates and telemetry.
- Racks & patching: small patch points on custom panels or DIN-rail boxes.
- Smart home hubs: tidy Ethernet access on gateways and home-lab enclosures.
Starter bundles (quick picks)
- Pi Enclosure LAN: this extension + Raspberry Pi + case + short patch cable
- Controller Panel: extension + W5500 Ethernet module + Arduino
- Field Box: extension + regulated PSU + step drill / screwdriver
Recommended add-ons
- Patch cables (Cat5e/Cat6) & strain-relief boots
- Project enclosures & mounting hardware/tools
- Status displays • sensors for networked projects
Technical specifications
| Interface | RJ45 (8P8C) male plug to RJ45 (8P8C) female jack, straight-through (T568B pin order typical) |
|---|---|
| Category | Cat5e or Cat6 (see variant) |
| Shielding | UTP or STP (see variant); shielded versions pass shield continuity for EMI-sensitive builds |
| Supported link rates* | 10/100/1000BASE-T (depends on Cat grade, length, and installation quality) |
| Cable length | See variant options on this page |
| Jacket / color | PVC, typical color: black (may vary by batch) |
| Panel mount | Bulkhead flange (2-screw) or threaded body with nut (see variant photos) |
| Mounting hardware | Included with panel-mount style (screws or nut, per variant) |
| Operating temp | −20 °C to +60 °C typical |
| Compliance | RoHS |
*Gigabit performance assumes Cat5e/Cat6 spec, short lengths, correct terminations, and proper bend radius.
Pinout & power notes
- Passive pass-through: this is an extension, not a PoE injector/splitter. PoE passes through if your cable grade and length support it.
- Bend radius: avoid sharp bends; keep total Ethernet channel ≤100 m (including this extension) for reliability.
- Shielding: for STP variants, bond shield to chassis only if your design requires it to avoid ground loops.
- Hole & screws: check variant photos/dimensions; flange styles commonly use M3/M4 screws, threaded styles need a round cutout.
What’s in the box
- RJ45 male–to–female panel-mount extension cable
- Mounting hardware (if applicable to the selected variant)
FAQs – RJ45 Panel-Mount Ethernet Extension (Philippines)
Is it Cat5e or Cat6?
Please select the desired category on this page. Cat6 variants are recommended for gigabit links and PoE with margin.
Does it support PoE?
Yes—this is a straight-through extension, so PoE passes through. Use the proper Cat grade and keep runs within spec for minimal voltage drop.
Is it waterproof?
No, unless the listing explicitly states an IP rating. For outdoor boxes, use a gasketed feed-through or IP-rated coupler.
Will it fit my Raspberry Pi/Arduino enclosure?
Yes—mount the female jack on your panel and plug the male end into the board inside. Verify hole pattern/diameter for your chosen variant.
Do you ship nationwide and support school/corporate orders?
Yes. We ship nationwide across the Philippines via trusted couriers and can prepare classroom bundles and bulk quotations on request.
Manila stock. Order before 16:00 PHT, ships today via J&T or LBC. Provincial: 1–3 working days.
Schools / class POs: we accept Purchase Orders for accredited schools and universities. contact us with your PO details.
Returns: 7-day inspection window for DOA units. Email proof of issue and we ship a replacement.
