DIGIT Keystone RJ45 Module (8P8C) Category 6A STP with Dust Cover

The DIGIT Keystone RJ45 Module (8P8C) Category 6A STP with Dust Cover is a shielded keystone connector designed for high-speed Ethernet cabling in structured network environments. This module supports Category 6A performance with foil and braid shielding to reduce alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The compact keystone format fits standard wall plates and patch panels and includes an integrated dust cover to protect the contact area when not in use.

Advantages

The shielded construction provides improved protection against external interference and helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The keystone form factor ensures compatibility with widely used installation hardware, enabling straightforward mounting in faceplates and patch panels. An integrated dust cover protects the connector from dirt and physical contamination, extending operational reliability in environments where ports may be exposed.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and horizontal cabling
• Data centers and server rooms with high-density patching
• Office network installations requiring enhanced shielding
• Structured cabling projects where keystone modules are used

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) keystone module
• Category: Category 6A (compliant with Cat6A performance ranges)
• Shielding: STP (foil and braid) for reduced alien crosstalk and EMI
• Protective feature: integrated dust cover for unused ports
• Compatibility: fits standard keystone wall plates and patch panels

How to use

Terminate the Category 6A copper cable to the keystone module following the appropriate wiring scheme and pair untwisting limits for Cat6A. Ensure the cable shield is properly terminated to the module shield to maintain overall STP performance. Snap the keystone into a compatible faceplate or patch panel until it clicks into place. When the port is not in use, close the integrated dust cover to protect contacts and maintain cleanliness.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use with Category 6A or higher-rated cabling and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii and pair untwist limits during termination. Ensure proper grounding of the shield at patch panels or distribution points to preserve shielding effectiveness. Regularly inspect and clean ports before connecting critical equipment to prevent contamination-related connectivity issues.
