Modular Adapter Dexlan 273262 1 Port RJ45 Cat 6A STP

The Dexlan modular adapter with a single RJ45 port supports Cat 6A STP cabling and is intended for high-speed wired Ethernet connections in structured cabling environments. The adapter provides a shielded termination that helps reduce electromagnetic interference and supports the performance requirements of 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper when installed as part of a compliant Cat 6A STP system. Its compact single-port design fits into patch panels, keystone wall plates, or surface-mount boxes where a single shielded Ethernet outlet is needed.

Advantages

This modular adapter offers a shielded connection compatible with Cat 6A STP installations, ensuring improved protection against external interference and better signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. The single-port format simplifies deployment in locations that require only one outlet while maintaining the mechanical and electrical characteristics expected for professional structured cabling. The adapter’s design enables straightforward termination and reliable contact with standard RJ45 plugs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within Cat 6A STP structured cabling
• Patch panels and network distribution frames requiring single shielded ports
• Wall outlet or keystone installations in offices, server rooms, and industrial sites
• Upgrading existing copper runs to shielded Cat 6A where EMI mitigation is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: 1 x RJ45 female
• Cable category: Cat 6A, shielded twisted pair (STP)
• Performance: Supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth, suitable for 10 Gbps Ethernet when used in compliant systems
• Shielding: Full shielded termination to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Mounting: Modular form factor for keystone-style panels, wall plates, or surface boxes
• Contact interface: Standard 8P8C contact arrangement for RJ45 plugs

How to use

Prepare the shielded Cat 6A cable by stripping the outer jacket and exposing the drain wire and foil shield according to the cable manufacturer’s instructions. Terminate individual wire pairs into the adapter’s termination points, ensuring correct pair alignment and secure contact. Attach the cable shield and drain wire to the adapter’s grounding point to maintain continuity of the shield. Insert the modular adapter into the compatible keystone opening of a patch panel, wall plate, or surface-mount box until it locks into place. Test the completed link with a cable tester or certification tester to verify continuity, pair mapping, and performance up to the intended bandwidth.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat 6A STP modular adapter as part of a fully shielded system, including shielded cables, connectors, and properly grounded patch panels or outlets. Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii and termination practices during installation, and perform certification testing to confirm performance for 10 Gbps applications and to ensure adequate EMI protection.
