Keystone module RJ45 CAT6A STP Slim & Short with grounding terminal — WENTRONIC 77942

WENTRONIC 77942 Goobay keystone module RJ45 CAT6A STP Slim & Short is a shielded network insert engineered for high-performance structured cabling. The module supports CAT6A specification for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and comes in a slim, short form factor that fits into compact patch panels, surface-mount boxes and wall plates. An integrated grounding terminal provides a defined connection point to maintain shielding continuity in installations that require TP/STP cable grounding.

Advantages

The keystone module offers full STP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for reliable high-speed data transfer. Its slim & short dimensions allow installation in space-limited panels and plates where standard inserts may not fit. The integrated grounding terminal makes it straightforward to implement shielding continuity without additional adapters. The module is compatible with standard RJ45 plugs and is intended for use in professional structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections requiring CAT6A performance
• Compact patch panels and shallow wall plates
• Professional structured cabling and server room installations
• Environments where STP shielding and grounding are required

When it may not be suitable

This module is designed specifically for shielded (STP) installations and CAT6A performance; it may be unnecessary for simple home networks using CAT5e or unshielded cabling where such shielding and grounding are not required. Installations that lack a grounding scheme or where the mechanical dimensions of legacy plates differ significantly may find a different full-size keystone insert more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable standard compatibility: CAT6A
• Shielding type: STP (shielded twisted pair)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Form factor: slim and short keystone module suitable for compact plates and panels
• Connector: RJ45 female keystone
• Grounding: integrated grounding terminal for shielding continuity

How to use

Terminate the CAT6A STP cable following standard wiring color codes and verify that the cable shield is prepared to connect to the module’s grounding terminal. Insert the terminated cable into the keystone module and secure it according to common keystone termination methods. Snap the module into a compatible slim keystone opening in a patch panel, faceplate or surface box. Connect the RJ45 plug from the device or patch cable to the module and ensure the grounding terminal is connected to the system ground to preserve shielding effectiveness.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of the module’s slim & short dimensions with your patch panel or wall plate cutouts
• Ensure your installation uses STP cabling and has a valid grounding scheme
• Verify that CAT6A performance (10 Gbps) is required for your network needs
• Check that termination tools and skills for shielded CAT6A cables are available

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this RJ45 CAT6A STP keystone module within a fully shielded cabling system, maintain consistent grounding across all shields, and perform certification testing after installation to validate 10 Gigabit link performance and channel parameters.
