Hi,
is the following setup possible:
- ML->RJ 45 cable ---> Ethernet cable ----> RJ 45 -> ML-cable.
I want to extend two ML->RJ45 cable with a network cable and an adapter like this:

Yes, you can do - you'll obviously need two of the adapters you linked to.
The network cable between the two adapters will need to be of the S/FTP type (either Cat 6, Cat 6a or Cat 7 but must be S/FTP)
S/FTP means that is there is overall braided shielding (the S) and each pair has a foil screen (the F) which is also known as PIMF (pairs in metal foil)
Hope this helps.

Hi Martin,
thank you and yes, that helps! :)
When you mention "Ethernet Cable" do you refer to double shielded CAT 7 cable or CAT 5e?
You can not use CAT5e for masterlink cable, it's not shielded and also dosen't have enough conductors to do ML (minimum 9 wires needed)
