Differences 

Electrical Straight Coupler - Requires 4 in (10.16 cm) pendant clip to stabilize joint for structural integrity. Does not have any power or data feed capabilities. 

I-Coupler - Includes two separate holes where power and data may be fed (top feed only) to the DataTrack. This may be used, as well, to feed two separate sources of power or two separate sources of data into the two different DataTrack pieces being spliced by the I-Coupler.
