Telephone plug RJ45 8P8C with shielded contacts – No name TEL0005.1

Shielded telephone plug RJ45 8P8C with shielded contacts is a modular connector intended for establishing reliable wired voice and low-speed data connections. This 8-position, 8-contact plug features metal screening around the contact area to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in environments where shielding is required. It is compatible with standard 8P8C modular jacks and designed for use with telephone sets, VoIP adapters and other telecommunication devices that accept RJ45-type connectors.

Advantages

The metal-screened design minimizes external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, which helps preserve call quality and reduces noise on analog and VoIP lines. The fully shielded contacts improve grounding continuity when mated with a shielded jack, offering enhanced protection against crosstalk and signal degradation. Its standard 8P8C form factor ensures broad compatibility with existing modular cabling and connectors commonly used in telecom installations.

Suitable for

• Wiring telephone sets and desk phones where a shielded plug is required
• Connecting VoIP adapters and ATA devices to shielded jacks
• Point-to-point voice or low-speed data links in electrically noisy environments
• Retrofit or repair of shielded modular cables in office or industrial settings

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8-position, 8-contact modular plug (8P8C)
• Shielding: metal screened contact area for EMI/RFI reduction
• Contact material: shielded contacts designed for reliable electrical contact
• Compatibility: mates with standard 8P8C modular jacks supporting shielded connections
• Typical applications: telephony, VoIP, wired voice and low-speed data

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose conductor pairs and untwist only as much as needed to make secure contact. Insert individual conductors into the plug according to the wiring scheme required by the telephone or VoIP device, ensuring the shield is properly positioned to make contact with the plug’s metal screening. Crimp the plug with a compatible crimping tool rated for 8P8C shielded plugs to secure contacts and the cable shield. Verify continuity and correct pair mapping with a cable tester or by testing the connected device.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the shielded RJ45 plug in combination with shielded modular jacks and cables, maintain proper grounding of the shield at least at one end, and avoid excessive conductor untwisting to preserve signal performance.
