Keystone RJ45 Module WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A STP Slim, light gray

The Keystone RJ45 Module WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A STP Slim in light gray is a keystone-format network connector intended for structured cabling where space-saving and shielded performance are required. It is compatible with standard keystone wall plates and patch panels and is designed for CAT6A cabling environments supporting up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The module’s STP (shielded twisted pair) design improves protection against electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for installations where signal integrity is important.

Advantages

This slim keystone module provides a compact form factor that fits into standard keystone openings while minimizing the profile behind wall plates and in patch panels. The CAT6A-rated construction allows higher data rates and bandwidth compared with lower categories, and the STP shielding reduces susceptibility to external interference in electrically noisy environments. The light gray finish offers a neutral appearance that integrates with many installation aesthetics.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and high-speed LAN installations
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and data centers
• Keystone wall plates, surface-mount boxes and patch panel assemblies
• Environments where improved EMI/RFI protection is needed

When it may not be suitable

This shielded CAT6A keystone module may not be necessary for basic home or small-office networks that use lower-speed cabling standards (CAT5e/CAT6) and do not face significant electromagnetic interference. It also requires a grounded installation to realize the benefits of the shielding; installations without proper grounding will not fully benefit from STP protection.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair)
• Form factor: Keystone, slim profile
• Color: Light gray
• Compatibility: Standard keystone wall plates and patch panels

How to use

Terminate the CAT6A cable onto an appropriate punch-down or RJ45 termination insert according to the cabling standard you follow (T568A or T568B), then snap the keystone module into a compatible wall plate or patch panel opening. Ensure the cable shielding is correctly bonded to the module’s shield and that the overall system grounding is continuous. After installation, verify connectivity and signal performance using a network tester that supports CAT6A/10Gb testing.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether your network requires CAT6A performance and 10 Gigabit capability
• Need for shielded connections and availability of proper grounding in your installation
• Compatibility with the keystone wall plates or patch panels you plan to use
• Aesthetic preference for the light gray finish

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this STP keystone module within a fully shielded cabling system, maintain continuous grounding across patch panels and outlets, and test end-to-end link performance after installation to confirm 10 Gigabit readiness.
