Keystone module RJ45 CAT 6A STP 500 MHz Slim‑Line, GOOBAY, flat silver 16.3 mm

GOOBAY Keystone module RJ45 CAT 6A STP 500 MHz Slim‑Line in flat silver is a shielded keystone insert designed for high‑speed Ethernet installations. With a 16.3 mm slim housing and RJ‑45 female connector, it fits standard keystone wall plates, patch panels and housings that accept rectangular keystone modules. The module supports CAT6A performance up to 500 MHz and is intended for installations that require shielded connections and compact module spacing.

Advantages

The shielded (STP) construction and robust metal housing provide improved protection against electromagnetic interference and support reliable transmission for high data rates, including 10GBase‑T applications. Its slim‑line 16.3 mm width allows installation in compact faceplates and high‑density panels where space is limited. Tool‑compatible IDC termination and TIA 568A/B colour coding simplify wiring and ensure consistent connectivity for structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Shielded CAT6A Ethernet cabling in offices and data rooms
• High‑density patch panels and modular faceplates
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE/PoE+ powered devices
• Environments requiring reduced EMI through shielded connectors

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 6A (10GBase‑T)
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair) with metallic housing
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Connector: RJ‑45 female, flat orientation
• Housing width: 16.3 mm (Slim‑Line)
• Termination: IDC suitable for solid conductor (0.45–0.65 mm)
• Colour: silver (metallic finish)
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert the keystone module into a compatible keystone port in a faceplate or patch panel until it snaps into place. Terminate the incoming shielded CAT6A solid conductors using the IDC termination points following the TIA 568A or 568B wiring colour code. Ensure the cable shield is properly terminated to the module housing to preserve the continuity of the shielding. After termination, secure the cable with the provided strain relief (cable tie point) and test the link with appropriate certification or testing tools to verify performance up to 500 MHz.

Usage recommendations

Use only solid conductors within the specified diameter range (0.45–0.65 mm); do not use stranded cable. Maintain correct shield termination to ensure EMI protection and full CAT6A performance. For permanent installations and certification measurements, use appropriate keystone faceplates and patch panels that accept 16.3 mm slim‑line modules and follow local cabling standards.
