Keystone module RJ45 CAT 6A STP slim, WENTRONIC Goobay 77943, black

The Keystone module RJ45 CAT 6A STP slim by WENTRONIC (Goobay series) is a compact, shielded RJ45 insert designed for CAT6A cable installations. Its slim black housing allows installation in standard keystone wall plates and patch panels while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shielded twisted-pair cabling. The module provides a balanced combination of compact form factor and CAT6A performance for structured cabling in offices, server rooms, and AV installations.

Advantages

This slim RJ45 keystone module supports CAT6A performance and STP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Its compact slim design enables higher port density in wall plates and patch panels and fits industry-standard keystone openings. The black finish offers a discreet appearance for visible installations. The unit is designed for straightforward termination with compatible shielded cabling and provides the necessary mechanical and electrical contact quality for high-speed data links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks using CAT6A shielded (STP) cabling
• High-density wall plates and patch panels where a slim keystone insert is needed
• Office LAN, server room and data center patching points
• Audio/visual installations requiring shielded connections to reduce interference

When it may not be suitable

This module is intended specifically for shielded CAT6A cabling; it is not suitable for environments where only unshielded (UTP) cabling is used if shielding continuity is not required. Because of its slim form factor, it may offer less rugged mechanical protection than bulkier industrial connectors in environments with frequent unplugging or heavy mechanical stress.

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair) support for EMI reduction
• Form factor: slim keystone module, fits standard keystone openings
• Color: black housing for discreet installations
• Compatibility: designed for mounting in keystone wall plates and patch panels

How to use

Terminate the shielded CAT6A cable to the module following the color-coded wiring scheme and ensure the cable shield is correctly bonded to the module’s metal shielding for continuity. Snap the keystone module into a compatible wall plate or patch panel cutout until it locks in place. After mounting, test the link with appropriate network testers to confirm performance and proper shielding continuity before putting the connection into service.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you are using shielded CAT6A cable and that your installation requires STP support.
• Verify compatibility with your wall plates and patch panels' keystone cutouts and available port density.
• Consider the mechanical demands of the installation (frequency of re-patching, exposure to stress).

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use continuous shielding practices: maintain shield continuity through cables, connectors, and panels, and perform post-installation testing for category compliance and shielding effectiveness.
