SOLARIX RJ45 connector CAT6A STP 8p8c, shielded, pack of 100

SOLARIX RJ45 connector CAT6A STP 8p8c, shielded, pack of 100 is a set of shielded 8-position 8-contact modular plugs designed for CAT6A screened twisted-pair cabling. These RJ45 connectors provide a metal shield around the plug body and contact area to maintain cable screening continuity and reduce electromagnetic interference, enabling reliable high-speed network terminations for professional installations, data centers, and office networks that require CAT6A performance.

Advantages

The shielded construction preserves cable screen integrity and helps suppress EMI and crosstalk when used with shielded cabling and connectors. The 8p8c format is compliant with standard RJ45 termination practices for Category 6A, supporting higher bandwidths and improved signal performance compared with lower-category plugs. Supplied in a pack of 100, this product supports bulk installations and on-site stocking, helping reduce downtime and ensuring consistent connector type across a project.

Suitable for

• Termination of CAT6A shielded (STP/FTP) twisted-pair cables
• Professional structured cabling projects in data centers and server rooms
• Office network installations requiring high-speed 10 Gbps links over copper
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and better screening continuity are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) modular plug
• Shielding: metal shielded body for screened cable continuity
• Category support: designed for Category 6A cabling performance
• Contacts: 8 contact positions with gold-plated contact surfaces for reliable contact
• Pack quantity: 100 connectors per pack

How to use

Prepare the shielded twisted-pair cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the drain wire and twisted pairs, maintaining the cable shield. Fold the drain wire or foil back over the cable jacket where required by the connector design, align conductor pairs according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), and insert wires fully into the connector until they reach the contact end. Use a compatible crimping tool designed for shielded RJ45 plugs to crimp the connector, ensuring the metal shield makes contact with the cable shield. Inspect the termination visually and, where appropriate, test the link with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use these shielded RJ45 connectors only with shielded CAT6A cable and compatible shielded jacks and patch panels to maintain full EMI protection. Employ a crimp tool recommended for shielded 8p8c plugs and perform post-termination testing for compliance with required performance levels. Store connectors in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent contamination of contact surfaces prior to use.
