Wire connector RJ-45 Metz 130910-I, grey, copper contacts, 14.7×43.9×22.4 mm, pack of 10

Metz 130910-I is a grey RJ-45 modular termination unit designed for high-performance Ethernet cabling. With copper-plated contacts and a robust zinc die-cast housing, this connector supports Cat.6A Class EA performance, link testing up to 500 MHz and is suitable for 10 GBase-T (IEEE 802.3an) applications. The compact module (14.7 × 43.9 × 22.4 mm) is supplied as a pack of 10 and provides an easy IDC-style termination for solid and stranded conductors, with conductor assignment markings for T568A and T568B.

Advantages

The connector offers certified component testing for industry standards and is GHMT-tested to relevant ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA specifications, ensuring predictable electrical performance for Cat.6A installations. Its zinc die-cast housing provides mechanical stability while the copper-plated contacts maintain reliable signal transmission. Installation requires no special tools, features a strain relief point with cable tie option, and allows fast insertion of wire pairs using an E-DAT modul stuffer cap. A dust cover option increases protection in exposed installations.

Suitable for

• Termination of Cat.6A and Cat.6 network cables in patch panels and keystone-style installations
• Field repairs and on-site cable terminations for 10 GBit Ethernet
• PoE, PoE+ and UPoE power-enabled Ethernet links
• Environments requiring modular mounting with 180° cable feed and strain relief

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the jacket to expose the pairs, identify the wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and align conductors to the marked assignment. Insert the wire pairs into the IDC contacts and use the E-DAT modul stuffer cap for secure and fast seating of the pairs. Apply the integrated strain relief using a cable tie at the module to secure the cable; no special tools are required for the mechanical connection. Install the module into the corresponding module slot or keystone frame and, if necessary, fit the optional dust cover to protect the contacts in exposed locations.

Usage recommendations

Use Metz 130910-I connectors with properly rated Cat.6A cable and ensure termination follows the selected T568 wiring standard. For installations delivering PoE or high data rates, maintain correct pair integrity and minimize untwist length at the termination. Perform continuity and certification tests where required to verify link performance up to the intended frequency range.
