Keystone RJ45 Module WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A STP Slim, green, model 77945

The WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A STP Slim keystone RJ45 module in green is a shielded insert designed for professional network installations. Its CAT6A specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate cabling and the STP (shielded twisted pair) design reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for environments that require reliable high-speed connections. The slim housing allows installation in standard keystone panels, wall plates and custom patch solutions where space is limited.

Advantages

This keystone module delivers stable data transmission at CAT6A performance levels with shielding that improves immunity to external interference. The compact form factor fits common keystone openings and simplifies integration into patch panels and faceplates. The green colour provides quick visual identification within mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LANs using CAT6A cabling
• Data centre patch panels and high-density racks
• Office wall plates and structured cabling installations
• Professional AV and network rooms requiring shielded connections

When it may not be suitable

This module requires CAT6A-rated cabling and proper grounding of the shield to realise its STP benefits; it will not improve performance on lower-category cabling. For simple home networks or installations where shielding and 10 Gb capacity are not needed, an unshielded CAT5e/CAT6 keystone may be a more cost-effective choice.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair)
• Form factor: slim keystone module for standard keystone openings
• Colour: green (housing)
• Intended use: patch panels, wall plates, keystone mounts

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible keystone opening on a patch panel, faceplate or surface-mount box until it snaps into place. Terminate the incoming CAT6A cable to the IDC or punch-down connection points following the color code printed on the module and ensure the cable shield is properly connected to the module’s grounding point. After termination, test the link with appropriate testers for continuity, pair integrity and performance up to 10 Gbps.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure installed cabling is CAT6A to achieve 10 Gigabit performance
• Verify that your infrastructure supports shielded components and proper grounding
• Confirm compatibility with your keystone panels, faceplates and mounting frames
• Consider labeling or colour-coding policies in mixed-cable environments

Usage recommendations

Use shielded cabling practices: maintain continuous shielding to termination points and connect shields to a single grounding point to reduce interference. After installation, validate performance using a certified network tester designed for CAT6A/10Gb links.
