ROLINE RJ45 Connector, Shielded, Cat.6/6A, Pass-Through, for Solid and Stranded Wire, 10 Pieces

The ROLINE RJ45 shielded connector is a professional-grade component engineered for high-performance Cat.6 and Cat.6A network installations. Designed to support both solid and stranded copper wires, this connector features a convenient pass-through design that allows the individual wire pairs to be inserted completely through the connector body. This mechanism significantly simplifies the termination process, ensuring accurate wire alignment and reducing the risk of installation errors during cable assembly.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this connector is its pass-through architecture, which allows for faster and more precise termination compared to traditional closed-end connectors. By enabling the wires to pass through the front, installers can easily verify the correct wiring sequence before crimping, which minimizes waste and improves overall connection reliability. The shielded construction provides essential protection against electromagnetic interference, making it an ideal choice for maintaining signal integrity in demanding Class E and EA network environments.

Suitable for

• Professional network infrastructure installations
• High-speed data transmission in Cat.6 and Cat.6A networks
• Terminating both solid and stranded copper network cables
• Environments requiring electromagnetic interference shielding

This connector may not be suitable for applications requiring non-shielded cabling or for use with cable types outside of the Cat.6/6A specification. It is also not intended for use with fiber optic cables or non-standard wire gauges that do not fit the internal channel dimensions of the RJ45 interface.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 shielded
• Compatibility: Cat.6 and Cat.6A (Class E/EA)
• Wire compatibility: Solid and stranded copper wire
• Design: Pass-through
• Quantity: 10 pieces

To use these connectors, strip the outer jacket of your network cable and arrange the internal wires according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Insert the wires through the front of the connector until they protrude from the other side. Once the sequence is verified, use a compatible pass-through crimping tool to secure the connector onto the cable and trim the excess wire length simultaneously. Ensure that the cable shield is properly grounded to the connector housing to maintain the intended interference protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your crimping tool is compatible with pass-through RJ45 connectors
• Ensure the cable category matches your network requirements
• Check the wire gauge compatibility of your specific cable

For optimal performance, always ensure that the cable shield makes firm contact with the connector housing and avoid excessive bending of the cable near the termination point to prevent signal degradation.
