Connector DATACOM 4225 2x RJ45 STP Cat6, shielded dual RJ45 inline connector

The DATACOM 4225 2x RJ45 STP Cat6 inline connector is a compact, metal-shielded module that provides two RJ45 ports for joining or extending shielded Ethernet cabling. Built to maintain Cat6 signal integrity, this dual RJ45 connector allows installers to create short inline splices, patch segments without a junction box, or extend runs where a pair of shielded ports is needed. The metal shield offers grounded protection against electromagnetic interference and helps preserve cable performance in environments with moderate noise.

Advantages

The shielded design reduces susceptibility to external interference while preserving the twisted-pair structure required for Cat6 operation. Two RJ45 ports in a single inline housing simplify installations by providing a direct, space-saving coupling between shielded cables. The compact metal body supports grounding continuity across connected shielded cables, and the connector is suitable for quick on-site repairs or temporary links without reterminating cables.

Suitable for

• Joining two shielded Cat6 cables in a patch or inline extension
• Temporary network links during maintenance or testing
• Field repairs where a fast, compact shielded connection is required
• Installations that require maintaining cable shielding and grounding continuity

Key specifications

• Connector type: dual RJ45 inline connector with shielded housing
• Cabling standard supported: Cat6 (shielded twisted pair)
• Port configuration: 2 × RJ45 STP
• Housing material: metal shielding for EMI protection and grounding
• Application: inline splicing, patching, short link extension
• Physical form factor: compact inline module designed for in-line connection without a separate enclosure

How to use

Strip the outer jacket and prepare the shielded Cat6 cable ends according to standard termination practice, taking care to preserve pair twist and drain wire. Insert the prepared RJ45 plugs into each port of the inline connector until the latch engages. Ensure the metal shield of the connector makes contact with cable shields or drain wires for proper grounding continuity. Verify the link with a cable tester that supports Cat6 parameters to confirm signal integrity and correct pinout before finalizing the installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector in environments where maintaining shield continuity and Cat6 performance is required. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or mechanical strain; secure the connected cables to prevent movement at the connector. For permanent installations, consider placing the connection inside an appropriate enclosure or using professionally crimped terminations to meet installation standards.
