Suitable for high-speed Ethernet up to CAT8 where shielded connections are required.

## Long description

The DS-IT DS-KC-STP8-TL is a toolless keystone insert designed for shielded Category 8 (CAT8 STP) network cabling. It provides a compact, keystone-compatible termination that snaps into standard patch panels, wall plates and keystone modules. Built for environments requiring shielded high-speed Ethernet links, this insert enables quick field termination of CAT8 STP cables without crimping tools, preserving the cable shield continuity and supporting short-run links that demand gigabit and higher performance.
Advantages
This toolless CAT8 STP keystone insert offers fast, tool-free installation, reducing termination time on site and simplifying moves, adds or changes. Its shielded design maintains the continuity of the foil/braid shield, helping to minimise electromagnetic interference and preserving the high-frequency performance of Category 8 cabling. The keystone form factor ensures compatibility with standard faceplates and patch panels for flexible deployment.
Suitable for
Field termination of shielded CAT8 cabling where rapid installation is required
Patch panels and wall plates using keystone-compatible inserts
High-speed Ethernet links in datacentre, server room or telecom closets
Environments that require shielded connections to reduce interference
When it may not be suitable
This insert is intended specifically for shielded Category 8 (STP) cables; it is not suitable for unshielded (UTP) cables where shielding continuity is not needed. For installations that require custom soldered or factory-pinned terminations, precision crimped connectors, or for very long permanent links beyond CAT8 medium specifications, a different connector or professional termination method may be more appropriate.
Key specifications
Compatibility: Keystone format for standard patch panels and wall plates
Cable category: Shielded Category 8 (CAT8 STP)
Termination method: Toolless punch-down style, no crimping required
Usage: Designed for shield continuity in STP installations
Application: Suitable for high-frequency, high-speed Ethernet applications
How to use
Strip the outer jacket of the CAT8 STP cable to expose the twisted pairs and the shield according to the manufacturer’s recommended strip length. Untwist the pairs only as much as necessary and fold the shield back over the jacket where the connector requires contact. Insert individual conductors into the corresponding slots of the toolless insert following the colour code, and press until the conductors are seated and the shield makes contact. Snap the keystone insert into a compatible faceplate or patch panel opening to secure the termination and restore mechanical support and shielding continuity.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your cables are shielded CAT8 STP compatible; this insert is not for UTP cables
Confirm keystone form factor compatibility with your wall plates or patch panels
Check required strip lengths and follow cable manufacturer guidance to maintain performance
Verify that toolless termination meets your installation and warranty requirements
Usage recommendations
Perform terminations in a clean area, avoid excessive untwisting of pairs and ensure the shield is properly folded to the connector contact to maintain overall shield continuity. Test each terminated link with an appropriate CAT8-capable tester to verify performance and wiring correctness before placing the link into service.
