Mascom International stocks the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter at KSh 800, brand new and sealed and ready for collection or delivery. The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter is an inline female-to-female coupler: two RJ45 sockets back to back, so you plug a finished cable into each side and get one longer link. It is rated up to 10 Gbps and complies with the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 cabling standard. The shell is aluminium alloy with gold-plated contacts and internal shielding. Find it at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for home users, office administrators, gamers and event technicians across Kenya, the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter solves a common headache. Your cable reaches the TV stand but not the PS5, or the router sits one room short of the study. Most people then buy a whole new long cable or call a technician to crimp a fresh one. With the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter, you simply join the cable you have to a second one. Families in Kilimani flats and offices in Westlands use it to reach desks the router never could.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell plain plastic couplers with no speed rating, Mascom International supplies the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter in a metal body rated for 10 Gbps networks. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers pair it with the UGREEN NW112 Cat 6 Ethernet Extension Cable or a UGREEN NW102 Cat 6 Flat LAN Cable to add metres in minutes. The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter is small enough to keep in a laptop bag for conference rooms. Walk into our Kimathi Street store or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter
How much is the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter in Kenya?
The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter costs KSh 800, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. You get one coupler in the box, backed by a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties, so you pay only once it reaches you. For KSh 800, you avoid replacing a cable that is just a little too short, which often costs more than the adapter.
Should I buy the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter or a longer cable?
Buy the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter when you already own two working cables and just need to join them. Buy one longer cable when you are starting from nothing or running a permanent line through walls. One continuous cable has fewer connection points, which is cleaner for a fixed install. The UGREEN NW102 Cat 6 Flat LAN Cable costs KSh 1,000 for 10 metres at Mascom International. A coupler and spare short lead often costs less than a new long cable.
Does the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter really reach 10 Gbps?
The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter is rated for up to 10 Gbps, but the real speed depends on your cables and devices. Cat 5e and Cat 6 leads normally carry 1 Gbps through the coupler, while 10 Gbps needs higher-grade cable such as Cat 7 and equipment built for it. Your link runs at the speed of the slowest part. Most home routers and laptops in Kenya top out at 1 Gbps, so the adapter will not be the bottleneck on a typical setup.
Will the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter slow my Safaricom or Airtel home fibre?
No, the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter will not cut your fibre plan speed on a normal home or office setup. Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, Zuku and Telkom home fibre plans run well below the 1 Gbps a Cat 6 run carries through the coupler. Use good cables on both sides and push each plug in until it clicks. A wired link through the coupler is steadier than Wi-Fi through thick stone walls, which helps daytime video calls and evening streaming.
Who should buy the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter and who should skip it?
The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter suits anyone who needs a few more metres from an existing cable, plus event crews and IT staff who carry spares. Skip it if you want two devices on one cable, because a coupler only joins, it never splits. The UGREEN CM210 RJ45 Splitter Adapter 2 Pack, KSh 1,600, serves that need. Skip it too for permanent wall runs, where one continuous cable ending in plugs from the UGREEN NW120 Cat 6 Unshielded RJ45 Connector pack is cleaner.
Can I use the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter for PoE cameras?
The UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter passes all eight wires straight through, so a PoE camera fed through it still receives power and data. That helps when a CCTV camera at a shop in Kisumu or a gate in Karen sits just beyond the cable length. Keep the coupler indoors or inside a sealed junction box, since rain and dust will corrode open RJ45 sockets. For long camera runs, one continuous cable remains the cleaner choice.
How do I connect two cables with the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter?
Connecting two cables with the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter takes seconds and needs no tools or software. Push the plug of the first cable into one socket until the latch clicks, then push the second cable into the other side. Plug the free ends into your router and device. The link comes up as if it were a single cable. To undo it, press each latch and pull the plug straight out.
Will the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter work with a PS5, smart TV or laptop?
Yes, the UGREEN NW261 RJ45 Ethernet Extender Adapter works with any device that has an RJ45 Ethernet port. UGREEN lists routers, switches, hubs, printers, PCs and TVs, and that covers consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox too. Mobile gamers moving to a console, and students at Strathmore or USIU streaming lectures, get a steadier wired link. Laptops without an Ethernet port need a USB-C or USB-A LAN adapter first, then the coupler joins the cables as normal.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Coupler Design
- Inline female-to-female RJ45 coupler — two sockets back to back that join two finished network cables into one.
- Rated up to 10 Gbps — ready for faster networks when your switches and cables support them later.
- Complies with TIA/EIA 568-C.2 — the industry standard for twisted-pair network cabling performance.
- Straight-through wiring of all eight contacts — data and Power over Ethernet pass through unchanged.
- Plug-and-play operation — no driver, power supply or setup needed on any device.
Compatibility With Cables and Devices
- Supports Cat 5e cable — older office cabling still connects at the speed that cable and your devices support.
- Supports Cat 6 cable at 1 Gbps — matches most Kenyan home fibre routers and office switches.
- Supports Cat 7 cable at 10 Gbps — keeps pace on high-speed links between servers and storage drives.
- Works with routers, switches, hubs, printers, PCs and TVs — any device with a standard RJ45 port.
- Fits leads made with the UGREEN NW120 Cat 6 Unshielded RJ45 Connector or factory-made patch cables.
- Joins Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, Zuku and Telkom router cables — extend a link to a desk, TV or console.
Build and Materials
- Aluminium alloy outer shell — sturdier than plain plastic couplers and better at spreading heat.
- Metal shield layer plus internal shielding — helps block electrical noise from nearby power cables.
- Gold-plated copper contacts — resist rust and keep a clean electrical connection after repeated plugging.
- PCB board inside, meaning a printed circuit board — keeps the eight signal paths neatly separated.
- Silver finish — blends with laptops, routers and media cabinets.
- RoHS compliant — made without restricted hazardous substances such as lead and mercury.
Inclusions and Value
- One coupler in the box — a single adapter ready to join two cables.
- KSh 800 per adapter — usually cheaper than replacing a cable that is slightly too short.
- Pairs with the UGREEN NW112 Cat 6 Ethernet Extension Cable at KSh 700 for 3 metres or KSh 1,200 for 5 metres.
- Retailer part number NW261-15117 — helps when matching stock or reordering spares.
- Brand new and sealed — clean sockets with no wear from earlier use.
Placement and Care
- Keep it off the floor where possible — chairs and feet can strain the cable joint.
- Use it indoors or inside a sealed junction box — dust, rain and coastal humidity corrode open sockets.
- Support the joint with a cable tie — stops heavy cables from tugging the plugs loose.
- Limit joins to one coupler per run where possible — every extra joint adds a point where faults can appear.
- Push each plug in until it clicks — a half-seated plug causes slow speeds or dropped connections.
