Wire connector RJ-45 MetzConnect BTR 130E405032-E, Black/Silver, IP20, 49.8×13.8×16.5 mm, pack of 10

MetzConnect BTR 130E405032-E is a Cat.6A (Class EA) RJ-45 field-assembled wire connector in a black and silver finish. Designed for indoor use with IP20 protection, the connector supports 10 GBit Ethernet, Remote Powering standards (PoE, PoE+ and UPoE) and HDBaseT. The compact zinc die-cast housing (49.8 × 13.8 × 16.5 mm) is composed of only two parts and offers a straight (180°) cable feed and multi-port shielding for professional network and industrial cabling installations. Supplied in packs of 10, the connector is reconnectable and suitable for both stranded and solid conductors within the specified wire diameters.

Advantages

The connector provides Cat.6A transmission characteristics compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2 and meets Class EA requirements, enabling reliable 10 GBit Ethernet links. Fully shielded construction and multi-port capability reduce electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments. Assembly is tool-free and straightforward; the zinc die-cast housing and protected locking hook increase mechanical robustness for repeated use. Integrated strain relief via a latching clip on the stuffer cap secures the cable jacket and simplifies installation.

Suitable for

• Field assembly of Cat.6A Ethernet connections for office and data center patching
• Installations requiring 10 GBit Ethernet, PoE/PoE+/UPoE delivery and HDBaseT
• Shielded multi-port networking panels and industrial network outlets
• Indoor structured cabling where IP20-rated connectors are acceptable

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose conductors and align pairs per the wiring scheme required (T568A or T568B). Insert conductors into the stuffer cap and close the two-part zinc housing over the assembly. Engage the latching clip to provide strain relief on the cable jacket and ensure the protected locking hook is seated in the mating jack. No special tools are required for the electrical connection, but standard cable preparation tools (wire stripper, cutter) are recommended. After assembly, verify continuity and performance with appropriate network test equipment to confirm Cat.6A transmission.

Usage recommendations

Use the connector indoors where IP20 protection is acceptable, and select cable diameters within 5.5–10.5 mm. Follow Cat.6A installation best practices: maintain pair integrity, minimize untwist length, and avoid sharp bends. Test installed links for 10 GBit performance and PoE compatibility before putting critical equipment into service.
