Can you use an RJ45 Coupler with POE?

[Sonic007]

I need to join two Cat5E cables that use POE.
Will I have any issues using an RJ45 coupler to join them?

Many thanks,

Tim.

No, it is fine to use a coupler.

If it is outdoors, please make sure that you fully weatherproof the connection.
Water ingress to the RJ45 connectors and corrosion of the sprung copper fingers within is still a big cause of camera failures.

Many thanks for the quick reply.

Just a quick question...

Will any female to female RJ45 coupler be ok with POE or can there be any risks with power going through them, overheating, etc?

thankyou.

No, it should be fine
