Shielded RJ45 Pass-Through Plug Alantec WT115 for Cat6 (pack of 100)

The Shielded RJ45 Pass-Through Plug Alantec WT115 for Cat6 (pack of 100) is a metallic STP pass-through connector engineered for shielded Cat6 network installations. Designed to accept conductors that pass through the plug body, this connector simplifies termination by allowing visual inspection of conductor order and full insertion before crimping. Supplied in a bulk pack of 100, the plug is intended for professional cabling work where maintaining Cat6 electrical performance and effective shielding is required.

Advantages

The metallic housing provides robust mechanical protection and effective electromagnetic shielding to reduce interference in environments with potential EMI. The pass-through design speeds up terminations and reduces wiring errors by making conductor colors and positions visible prior to crimping. A consistent form factor ensures compatibility with standard Cat6 keystone jacks and patch panels that accept shielded RJ45 connectors, supporting reliable connections in structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Professional Cat6 shielded network cabling and installations
• Terminating shielded twisted-pair cables in patch panels and keystone jacks
• On-site field terminations and repairs requiring verification of conductor order
• Data center and enterprise wiring where EMI protection is necessary

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: 8P8C contacts suitable for four-pair Cat6 cable
• Termination style: Pass-through for visual conductor verification and full insertion
• Pack quantity: 100 pieces per package
• Application: Suitable for shielded twisted-pair (STP) installations

How to use

Prepare the Cat6 shielded cable by removing the outer jacket and exposing the foil drain or braid as required by the cable type. Arrange and trim the four twisted pairs to the correct length following the chosen wiring standard, then insert the conductors through the pass-through plug until the cable jacket seats inside the plug body and the drain/braid makes contact with the metallic housing. Verify conductor order visually, then use an appropriate crimp tool designed for shielded pass-through plugs to crimp the contacts and secure the plug. After crimping, trim any protruding conductor ends and ensure the cable shield is properly connected to maintain continuity.

Usage recommendations

Use a crimping tool specified for shielded pass-through RJ45 plugs to ensure firm contact and consistent terminations. Verify that the shield continuity is correctly established to the plug housing when working in environments where EMI mitigation is critical. For reliable Cat6 performance, preserve pair untwist lengths within recommended limits and perform a cable test with a network tester after termination to confirm wiring and signal integrity.
