Keystone module RJ45 CAT6A STP Slim, WENTRONIC Goobay 77950, yellow

The Keystone module RJ45 CAT6A STP Slim from WENTRONIC (Goobay) provides a compact, shielded connection point for 10 Gigabit-capable Ethernet networks. Its slim keystone form factor is intended for snap-in installation in compatible patch panels, wall plates and keystone housings, enabling space-saving deployments in dense rack or wall-mounted structured cabling systems. The shielded twisted pair (STP) design improves immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports the higher frequency ranges required for CAT6A performance.

Advantages

The slim housing reduces occupied space in patch panels and faceplates while keeping full CAT6A electrical performance. Shielding around the RJ45 connector helps reject external noise sources, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby power or RF equipment. The module is compatible with standard keystone openings, enabling straightforward snap-in mounting and replacement without special tools, which simplifies installation and maintenance in professional LAN and data center setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN backbones and horizontal cabling where CAT6A is required
• Patch panels and faceplates in dense rack or wall installations
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and data centers with potential EMI sources

When it may not be suitable

This slim STP keystone module is designed for environments that require shielding and CAT6A bandwidth; it may not be necessary for simple home networks or installations limited to CAT5e/CAT6 performance where unshielded modules would suffice. Additionally, if your faceplate, patch panel or keystone housing does not accept slim-format modules or lacks proper grounding provisions for shielded components, this module may not provide the intended EMC benefits.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (10 Gigabit-ready)
• Cable type: Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
• Connector: RJ45 keystone module, slim form factor
• Installation: Snap-in for standard keystone openings (slim profile)
• Application: Horizontal and backbone data cabling, patch panels, faceplates

How to use

Terminate the incoming shielded network cable onto the module according to the color-coded wiring scheme and follow best practices for CAT6A terminations, including maintaining cable geometry and twist integrity. Insert the keystone module into a compatible patch panel, faceplate or housing until it snaps securely into place. For shielded installations, ensure the module’s shield is properly connected to the system ground or chassis to obtain the full EMI rejection benefits. After installation, test the link with a suitable network tester certified for CAT6A performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility of your patch panel, faceplate or housing with slim keystone modules
• Presence of grounding or chassis earthing provisions for shielded modules
• Whether CAT6A and STP performance is required for your network speeds and environment

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality shielded cabling and proper grounding to maximize the STP module’s EMI protection, and perform post-installation certification tests to verify CAT6A link performance in environments with high-density installations.
