ShiverPeaks 72061-R CAT 6a Modular Network Connector, 8-Pole, Shielded, Gold-Plated Contacts

The ShiverPeaks 72061-R is a high-performance 8-pole modular network connector engineered specifically for CAT 6a cabling requirements. This shielded connector is designed to provide robust protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable and high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. With its precision-engineered construction and gold-plated contacts, it offers excellent conductivity and long-term reliability for critical infrastructure projects.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this connector is its shielded design, which effectively reduces crosstalk and external signal noise, maintaining signal integrity even in dense cabling environments. The 50µ gold-plated contacts provide superior resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring a consistent connection over time. Additionally, the inclusion of a dedicated wire guide simplifies the assembly process, allowing for faster and more accurate termination of network cables, which reduces the likelihood of installation errors.

Suitable for

• Professional office network installations
• High-speed data centers and server rooms
• Industrial environments requiring shielded connectivity
• Upgrading existing network infrastructure to CAT 6a standards

This connector may not be suitable for applications requiring non-shielded cabling or environments where the cable diameter exceeds the specifications supported by this modular connector. It is also not intended for use with non-standard cable categories that do not align with CAT 6a requirements.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8-pole modular network connector
• Compatibility: CAT 6a cabling
• Shielding: Fully shielded design
• Contact plating: 50µ gold-plated
• Features: Integrated wire guide for installation

To use the ShiverPeaks 72061-R, strip the outer jacket of your CAT 6a cable, arrange the individual wires according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard, and insert them into the provided wire guide. Once the wires are properly seated, insert the guide into the connector housing and use a compatible crimping tool to secure the connector onto the cable. Ensure that the shield of the cable makes proper contact with the connector housing for optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable type is compatible with CAT 6a modular connectors
• Ensure you have a professional-grade crimping tool suitable for shielded connectors
• Check the wire gauge of your cable to ensure it fits the connector guide

For the best results, always ensure that the cable shield is properly grounded and that the wire pairs are untwisted as little as possible during the termination process to maintain maximum signal performance.
