Modular connector DELOCK 90905 RJ45 Cat.6A STP — shielded RJ45 plug for Cat6A cabling

DELOCK 90905 is a modular shielded RJ45 connector designed for terminating Cat6A twisted-pair network cables. It supports Category 6A STP standards to maintain signal integrity for high-speed Ethernet networks and is intended for use in professional installations, patch panels, and custom cable assemblies where a shielded termination is required to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve 10 Gigabit performance.

Advantages

This shielded RJ45 plug provides a secure, screened connection that helps minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances. Built for Cat6A cabling, the connector preserves the cable’s transmission characteristics at higher frequencies and supports reliable 10 GbE links when terminated correctly. The metal shielding ensures continuity with system-level grounding and improves long-term network stability in electrically noisy environments.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat6A STP twisted-pair cables for patch leads
• Creating custom shielded Ethernet cables for server rooms and data centres
• Field terminations where a durable, grounded RJ45 connection is required
• Patch panels and network racks requiring screened connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: shielded RJ45 modular plug compatible with Cat6A STP cabling
• Performance category: supports Category 6A transmission characteristics
• Data rate: suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications when properly terminated
• Shielding: metal screen to provide electromagnetic interference reduction and grounding continuity
• Cable compatibility: designed for 4-pair twisted-pair cables used in Cat6A installations
• Termination style: modular plug termination for permanent or field-assembled cable ends

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the Cat6A STP cable to expose the four twisted pairs and the cable shield. Untwist pairs only as much as required for correct conductor placement, flatten and align conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Insert the conductors fully into the connector so that each wire reaches its contact; ensure the cable shield makes contact with the connector’s metal body to maintain shielding continuity. Use an appropriate crimping or termination tool specified for shielded RJ45 plugs to secure contacts and clamp the cable, then test the terminated cable with a network tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance suitable for 10 GbE links.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector with Cat6A-rated shielded cable and compatible tools. Minimise pair untwist length, ensure proper shield contact and grounding at both ends, and verify final cable performance with a certified cable tester to guarantee Category 6A compliance and 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation.
