Key specifications
 Connector type: RJ45 plug, shielded (SFTP)
 Category compatibility: Cat.5e
 Shielding: foil + braided shield
 Use case: designed for twisted-pair Ethernet cables
 Transmission standard: suitable for 100BASE-TX and Cat.5e networks
How to use
Prepare the shielded Cat.5e cable by stripping the outer jacket and folding back the braided shield and foil so that the individual twisted pairs are exposed and the drain wire is accessible. Arrange the conductors in the appropriate wiring order, insert them fully into the RJ45 plug until each conductor reaches the contact pins, and ensure the shield makes contact with the plug's metal body. Use a suitable crimping tool for shielded RJ45 plugs to compress the connector and secure the cable; verify continuity and shielding contact with a network tester after termination.
Usage recommendations
Use this shielded RJ45 plug with properly shielded Cat.5e cable and a compatible crimping tool. Maintain consistent conductor order and ensure good contact between cable shielding and plug body to maximize electromagnetic protection and reliable data transmission.
