What is an IDC inline punchdown coupler used for?

It joins two four-pair installation cables directly through IDC terminals without having to fit RJ45 plugs.

It is useful for extending a cable, repairing a damaged run or making a permanent inline joint where replacing the complete cable is impractical.
