S-Conn RJ45 plug complete set Cat.5/Cat.6 shielded with insertion aid and boot — red

The S-Conn RJ45 plug complete set Cat.5/Cat.6 shielded with insertion aid and boot — red is a ready-to-use kit for assembling shielded RJ45 connectors on Cat5 and Cat6 Ethernet cables. The set contains shielded modular plugs matched to screened cable, an insertion aid to help align conductors accurately, and red protective boots that provide strain relief and a consistent finished appearance for patch leads or field terminations where a screened connection is required.

Advantages

This kit combines shielded RJ45 plugs compatible with both Cat5 and Cat6 cable types, an insertion aid that reduces assembly errors and speeds up termination, and color-coded red boots for easy identification. The shielded plugs help maintain cable screening continuity when used correctly, while the insertion aid supports precise conductor placement into the correct pin positions. The included boots protect the connector point from bending stress and provide a neat visual finish.

Suitable for

• Assembly of Ethernet patch cables using Cat5 and Cat6 screened (STP/FTP) cables
• On-site or field terminations where shielded RJ45 connectors are required
• Small-scale network installations, testing labs, and repair tasks
• Color-coded cable management and identification using red boots

When it may not be suitable

This set is designed for shielded (screened) RJ45 terminations and therefore is not suitable for use on unshielded (UTP) cables where shielding continuity is unnecessary. If connectors for specialized high-performance Cat6a or Cat7 cables with different conductor layouts or larger diameters are required, this kit may not fit those cable types.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: Cat5 and Cat6 screened Ethernet cables (STP/FTP)
• Connector type: Shielded RJ45 modular plug
• Included accessories: Insertion aid for conductor alignment, protective boot (red)
• Use case: Ethernet patch cords and field terminations requiring screening

How to use

Prepare the screened cable by stripping the outer sheath and folding back or preparing the drain/screen as required for your connector type. Use the insertion aid to align the individual conductors in the correct order and insert them fully into the shielded RJ45 plug. Ensure the cable shielding is correctly connected to the plug’s metal housing if grounding continuity is needed. Slide the red boot over the cable before final crimping, then crimp the connector with an appropriate crimp tool. Verify wiring with a cable tester to confirm continuity and correct pairing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your cable is shielded (STP/FTP); this kit is intended for screened cables
• Check conductor diameter and plug compatibility with Cat6 cables to ensure fit
• Ensure you have a suitable crimping tool and cable tester for termination and verification
• Decide if red boots meet your color-coding or aesthetic requirements

Usage recommendations

For reliable screened connections, always ensure the cable drain wire or foil is correctly bonded to the plug housing and that the crimping tool matches the plug type. Test each terminated cable for continuity and pair integrity before deployment. Use the insertion aid to reduce termination errors and keep consistent wire order across multiple terminations.
