Can I use the Cat6 coupler with Cat6A cable?

The usual RJ45 plugs can physically mate with it, but this particular coupler is specified as Cat6 and unshielded.

I would therefore not use its presence as evidence of a Cat6A channel, particularly where shield continuity or full Cat6A performance matters.

A chain is rather unhelpfully judged by its least capable link.
