Keystone RJ45 Module CAT6A STP Slim, WENTRONIC 77949, white

The WENTRONIC Keystone RJ45 Module CAT6A STP Slim in white is a shielded keystone connector designed for CAT6A structured cabling. It fits into standard keystone wall plates, patch panels and surface-mount boxes. The module supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over CAT6A cabling and includes shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for professional network installations and high-performance home networks that require reliable, high-speed shielded connections.

Advantages

This slim CAT6A STP keystone module provides high data throughput up to 10 Gbps when used with appropriate cabling and equipment. The shielded design limits electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Its keystone format allows tool-free insertion into compatible faceplates and panels, enabling flexible installation and easy replacement in modular cabling systems.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks over CAT6A cable
• Structured cabling installations in offices, data rooms and server closets
• Home networks requiring shielded connections to reduce interference
• Integration into keystone wall plates, patch panels and surface-mount boxes

When it may not be suitable

This shielded CAT6A module is intended for installations where shielded cabling and grounding are used; it may not provide full benefit in unshielded (UTP) systems or where proper grounding is not implemented. For low-speed or legacy networks that do not require CAT6A performance, the technical capabilities of this module may be unnecessary.

Key specifications

• Category performance: CAT6A, supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: STP (shielded twisted pair)
• Form factor: keystone module, slim profile
• Colour: white
• Compatibility: fits standard keystone faceplates, patch panels and surface-mount boxes

How to use

Terminate the network cable to the module following the colour code and termination method required for CAT6A shielded connectors, ensuring the cable shield is properly prepared and connected. Insert the keystone module into a compatible faceplate, patch panel or surface box until it snaps into place. Ensure that the shielding is bonded to the metal frame or grounding point of the plate or panel when installing in shielded systems. After installation, test the channel with appropriate certification or verification tools to confirm performance up to CAT6A standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether your cabling infrastructure uses shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) cables
• Compatibility of your faceplates, patch panels or boxes with keystone slim modules
• Requirement for proper grounding and shielding continuity in your installation
• Whether CAT6A performance (10 Gbps) is needed for your network applications

Usage recommendations

Use this module in shielded cabling systems with proper grounding and pairing discipline; after installation, verify continuity of the shield and perform channel testing to ensure CAT6A compliance and reliable 10 Gigabit performance.
