Connector DATACOM 4229 STP CAT6A 2xRJ45 8P8C — shielded inline coupling for dual RJ45 ports

The DATACOM 4229 STP CAT6A connector is a shielded inline coupling with two RJ45 8P8C ports designed for use in CAT6A installations that require STP (shielded twisted pair) connectivity. It provides a compact, pass-through connection that links two Ethernet cables or devices while maintaining shielding continuity to help reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity in high-speed networks. The unit is intended for environments where a dual RJ45 connection is needed and where shielded connections are preferred.

Advantages

The shielded construction ensures continuity of cable shielding across the coupling, helping to minimise external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The dual RJ45 8P8C design allows two connections in a single compact module, saving space and simplifying inline extensions or joins without altering existing cabling runs. The connector is compatible with CAT6A signal levels and supports high-speed Ethernet transmission typical for CAT6A-rated components.

Suitable for

• Inline extension or joining of two Ethernet cables in shielded CAT6A installations
• Temporary or permanent pass-through connections between network devices with RJ45 ports
• Outdoor-rated or shielded pathway segments where maintaining cable shielding is required
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where STP protection is beneficial

Key specifications

• Connector type: inline coupling with two RJ45 8P8C ports
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair) continuity through the coupling
• Category compatibility: CAT6A signal support
• Applications: Ethernet network pass-through for two connections

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug of each cable firmly into the respective port of the DATACOM 4229 until it clicks to ensure proper electrical and mechanical contact. Ensure that cable shields are prepared and terminated according to the installation practice for shielded connections so that the shielding continuity is maintained through the coupling. Use the coupling in accessible locations or inside enclosures as appropriate for the installation environment; verify link status and network performance after installation to confirm satisfactory signal transmission.

Usage recommendations

Use with CAT6A-rated shielded cables and follow local grounding and shielding best practices to ensure effective EMI protection. Avoid excessive mechanical stress or bending at connector interfaces and ensure proper environmental protection if installed outdoors.
