Network modular plug RJ45 UGREEN CAT6 STP for solid and stranded cable (model 50248)

UGREEN RJ45 modular plug CAT6 STP (model 50248) is a shielded RJ45 connector engineered for terminating both solid and stranded Ethernet cables. Designed to meet CAT6 performance requirements, the plug uses shielded twisted pair (STP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain reliable signal transmission for Gigabit networks. It is suitable for making custom-length patch cables, repairing existing leads, or creating point-to-point runs in home, office and small data environments.

Advantages

The shielded design improves resistance to external interference compared with unshielded connectors, helping sustain higher throughput and lower error rates in noisy environments. Compatibility with both solid and stranded conductors provides flexibility during cable termination, and the CAT6-rated contact geometry supports higher frequencies for stable Gigabit Ethernet performance. The compact modular form factor simplifies installation into standard patch panels, keystone jacks and RJ45 boots.

Suitable for

• Terminating custom-length CAT6 patch cables
• Repairing or replacing damaged RJ45 ends on shielded cables
• Creating point-to-point wired connections for Gigabit LAN
• Use in home networks, small offices and AV installations with potential EMI

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 modular plug
• Cable compatibility: solid and stranded copper conductors
• Category: CAT6 (performance for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair) metal housing
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Number of contacts: 8 positions, 8 contacts
• Suitable conductor gauge: commonly used AWG range for CAT6 cables

How to use

Strip the cable jacket to expose the twisted pairs, align the conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), and ensure pairs remain untwisted only as long as necessary. Insert the arranged conductors fully into the plug so each wire seats into its corresponding contact. Use an appropriate RJ45 crimping tool to firmly crimp the plug onto the cable, compressing the shield and contacts to form a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Verify continuity and pair wiring with a cable tester before putting the cable into service.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a quality crimping tool designed for shielded RJ45 plugs and avoid excessive untwisting of pairs. Maintain the cable shield continuity by properly folding or terminating drain wires as required by your connector and cabling practices. Test each terminated cable to confirm performance and correct wiring before deployment.
