Keystone RJ45 STP Jack Cat.6A 500MHz, component-certified, 24‑set — EFB Elektronik

Keystone RJ45 STP Jack Cat.6A 500MHz by EFB Elektronik is a shielded keystone module sold as a set of 24 and component-certified for Class EA performance. Designed for shielded structured cabling, this Cat6A keystone supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and is intended for terminating shielded horizontal cabling in data centers, offices and PoE-enabled networks. The module fits standard keystone openings and is suitable for use with shielded patch panels and wall plates where high-speed Ethernet and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

These EFB Elektronik keystone jacks deliver component-certified Cat6A performance with stable transmission up to 500 MHz while preserving shielding continuity to minimise crosstalk and external interference. Supplied as a 24-piece set, they provide consistency across multiple terminations and simplify bulk installation projects. The keystone format allows straightforward mounting into standard panels and faceplates, and the shielded design supports the use of Power over Ethernet in environments that require EMC protection.

Suitable for

• Shielded horizontal cabling in data centers and wiring closets
• Office network outlets installed in keystone wall plates
• High-speed Ethernet links and 10GBASE-T connections over Cat6A
• PoE and PoE+ installations where shield continuity is needed
• Patch panels and modular faceplates requiring keystone modules

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended specifically for shielded (STP) cabling systems; it is not appropriate for unshielded (UTP) installations where grounding and shield continuity are not present. If your project uses UTP Cat6A or lower-category cabling, these STP keystone jacks will not deliver intended benefits and may complicate installation and performance alignment.

Key specifications

• Category performance: Cat6A / Class EA, component-certified
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair) keystone design
• Quantity: set of 24 identical keystone jacks
• Form factor: standard keystone module for panels and wall plates

How to use

Terminate each shielded cable pair to the keystone jack following the colour code printed on the module and maintain proper cable preparation to preserve the shielding. Secure the module into a compatible keystone opening in a patch panel or wall plate until it clicks into place. Ensure that the cable shield is properly connected to the chassis or outlet grounding point to maintain STP effectiveness. After termination, test each port with suitable certification or qualification tools to verify Category 6A performance and correct continuity of shielding.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your cabling infrastructure is shielded (STP) and that grounding provisions are available.
• Verify that keystone-format modules are compatible with your patch panels and faceplates.
• Ensure that Cat6A/Class EA performance and 500 MHz rating match your network requirements (for 10G and PoE applications).

Usage recommendations

Use these keystone jacks with shielded patch cables and terminate shields to a common grounding point. After installation, perform channel or link certification to confirm Cat6A/Class EA compliance and verify PoE delivery where required.
