DIGITUS AK-219602 CAT 6 Unshielded Modular Plugs for Round Cable with RJ-45 Pass-Through Connectors in Transparent Polycarbonate

DIGITUS AK-219602 CAT 6 Unshielded Modular Plugs are designed for reliable and efficient termination of unshielded round network cables. Featuring practical RJ-45 pass-through connectors in an 8P8C two-part design, these plugs allow individual wires to pass completely through the front before crimping. This design simplifies installation, helps verify the correct wire sequence at a glance, and ensures consistent network performance for professional and home setups alike. Crafted from durable transparent polycarbonate, the plugs offer long-lasting physical protection and clear visibility during assembly.

Advantages

The pass-through design significantly streamlines the cable assembly process by allowing installers to check the wire order easily before crimping, thereby reducing errors and wasted materials. The use of gold-plated contacts ensures optimal signal transmission and corrosion resistance over time. Built to comply with recognized international standards such as ISO/IEC 11801 and EIA/TIA 568-C, these CAT 6 plugs deliver dependable 1GBase-T network performance. Their durable polycarbonate construction combined with UL certification guarantees safety and mechanical resilience across a wide operating temperature range.

Suitable for

• Assembling custom-length unshielded CAT 6 patch cables
• Setting up local area networks in homes and small offices
• IT infrastructure maintenance and network cable repairs
• Connecting network devices using round unshielded twisted pair cables

When it may not be suitable

These modular plugs are not designed for shielded network cables, as they lack shielding components required to maintain STP or FTP cable properties. They are also unsuitable for solid core conductors outside the specified AWG range or for applications requiring industrial-grade waterproof or ruggedized outer housings.

Key specifications

• CAT 6 layout performance for 1GBase-T networks
• Unshielded RJ-45 8P8C two-part pass-through connector design
• Made from transparent polycarbonate with UL 94V-2 flammability rating
• Phosphor bronze and brass contacts with 0.6 µ gold plating
• Compatible with copper conductor sizes AWG 27/7 to 24/7
• Operating temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C
• Insertion force of 30 N or less
• Designed for patch cable assembly

How to use

To use these modular plugs, strip the outer jacket of the unshielded round network cable and untwist the individual wire pairs according to the desired wiring standard. Insert the wires straight through the front openings of the pass-through plug, ensuring that the color sequence is correct and corresponds on both ends of the cable. Slide the plug fully onto the cable jacket and use a compatible pass-through crimping tool to press the contacts into place and trim the excess wire ends in a single action. Inspect the terminated connector to confirm that all wires are securely locked and correctly positioned before testing the cable with a network tester.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network cable type is unshielded round cable within the supported AWG wire gauge range
• Ensure you have a compatible pass-through crimping tool designed for RJ-45 pass-through connectors
• Confirm the required category performance matches CAT 6 standards for your network setup

Usage recommendations

For best results, always use a compatible pass-through crimping tool and carefully check the wire color sequence before final crimping to ensure reliable network connectivity.
