This data sheet provides the technical specifications and operational guidelines for the UGREEN 15117 (NW261) RJ45 Ethernet Coupler series, specifically engineered for high-velocity network bridging and cable extension at SKYRS in Pakistan.
Product Overview
The UGREEN 15117 is a premium-grade, female-to-female (F/F) RJ45 Ethernet coupler. Encased in a high-density aluminum alloy shell, it is designed to bridge two Ethernet cables without signal loss or latency, supporting modern high-bandwidth protocols up to Cat8 standards. It is the primary solution for SKYRS infrastructure when existing cable runs require extension or modular reconfiguration.

Variants for SKYRS Pakistan
To accommodate various networking environments across SKYRS facilities, the 15117 series is deployed in several specific configurations:
15117 Aluminum Series: The flagship variant with a “Space Gray” aluminum shell, favored for high-interference server rooms and exposed workstations due to superior heat dissipation and EMI shielding.
15117 ABS Economy Series: A high-impact plastic variant utilized for internal desk-level cable extensions where weight and mobility are prioritized over heavy shielding.
Multi-Port Coupler Packs: Dedicated for SKYRS IT departments, these bundles include the 15117 units along with standardized Cat7 patch cables for immediate site deployment.
Deployment and Installation
At SKYRS, the 15117 coupler is deployed using a “Lossless-Link” protocol to ensure network integrity:
Cable Verification: Ensure both Ethernet cables (Source and Extension) are free of pin damage.
Insertion: Insert the first cable until a distinct “click” is heard from the snap-in retaining clip. Repeat for the second cable.
Strain Relief: Use SKYRS-provided cable ties to ensure the coupler is not hanging by the weight of the cables, which prevents port-wear over long durations.
Shielding Continuity: For 10Gbps environments, ensure both connected cables are shielded (STP/FTP) to utilize the coupler’s full metal shielding capability.
Configuration and System Setup
The UGREEN 15117 is a passive, transparent network component requiring zero software configuration:
Signal Continuity: The device automatically passes through all 8 pins (and the ground drain wire). No IP configuration or MAC address registration is needed.
Bandwidth Optimization: While the coupler supports 10Gbps, the final network speed will be limited by the lowest-rated cable in the link (e.g., a Cat7 and Cat5e link will operate at Cat5e speeds).
POEP+ Compatibility: The 15117 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) pass-through, allowing SKYRS to extend cables for IP cameras and VoIP phones without additional power injectors.
Availability Only at SKYRS
The UGREEN 15117 series, featuring the upgraded 10Gbps chipset and aluminum chassis specifically validated for the Pakistani humidity and temperature profiles, is available exclusively through SKYRS procurement channels.
Important: This deployment-grade hardware is sourced specifically for SKYRS to ensure compliance with 10-Gigabit Ethernet standards. Standard retail couplers often lack the full metal shielding found in the SKYRS-specific 15117 inventory, which is critical for preventing crosstalk in high-density office environments.
