Lapp RJ45 connector category 6A EPIC DATA ED-IE-AX-6A-B-20-FD-FC (MPN 21700616)

The Lapp RJ45 connector category 6A EPIC DATA ED-IE-AX-6A-B-20-FD-FC is a shielded modular RJ45 termination designed to meet Category 6A performance requirements for high-speed Ethernet. It provides a robust metal-shielded interface that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduces alien crosstalk in structured cabling and industrial installations. The connector is suitable for use in patch panels, field terminations and industrial network devices where reliable, high-bandwidth data connections are required.

Advantages

This shielded Category 6A RJ45 connector offers wide bandwidth capacity and improved crosstalk protection compared with lower-category terminations. Its metal shielding enhances immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for installations close to power equipment or other noise sources. The modular design enables consistent terminations for patch panels and field connections, while compatibility with Cat6A cabling ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and future-proofed network performance.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network infrastructure
• Field terminations where Cat6A performance and shielding are required
• Industrial Ethernet devices and controllers requiring shielded RJ45 interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: Shielded RJ45 modular connector
• Performance category: Category 6A (support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: Metal shield for improved EMI immunity and reduced crosstalk
• Application: Field termination and panel-mounted Ethernet connections
• Design: Modular termination compatible with Cat6A cabling

How to use

Prepare the Cat6A cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging pairs according to the chosen wiring standard. Insert individual conductors into the modular connector following the connector's termination guidance, ensuring pairs remain correctly paired and seating the wires fully. Use the appropriate termination tool or insertion method specified for the connector to achieve a secure contact and proper shield connection. Verify the mechanical fit and then test the terminated link with appropriate network certification or continuity testing equipment to confirm Cat6A performance.

Usage recommendations

Ensure proper grounding of the connector shield to the installation ground to maintain EMI protection. Use cable and installation practices that preserve pair twist and maintain separation from power sources. After termination, perform certification testing for Cat6A to verify bandwidth and crosstalk performance in the installed environment.
