Keystone RJ45 Module WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A UTP Slim & Short, 77951

The WENTRONIC Goobay CAT6A UTP Slim & Short keystone RJ45 module is designed for network terminations that require CAT6A performance in a compact form. It supports up to 10 Gbps Ethernet over unshielded twisted-pair cabling and fits standard keystone openings. Its reduced length and slim profile make it suitable for high-density installations such as patch panels, modular keystone housings and recessed wall plates where space is limited.

Advantages

The module provides CAT6A performance in a space-saving housing that eases installation in crowded panels and wall plates. Its unshielded design simplifies grounding and installation in typical office and residential environments. The component is compatible with standard keystone mounts and accepts common punch-down or termination methods for reliable electrical contacts and signal integrity at high data rates.

Suitable for

• High-density patch panels in server rooms and telecom racks
• Keystone wall plates and faceplates for office and home networks
• Modular keystone housings where short module depth is required
• Upgrading or repairing network terminations to support 10 Gbps links over UTP cabling

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded keystone module is intended for use with UTP cabling and typical indoor environments. It may not be appropriate where shielded cabling or special grounding is required to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) or industrial standards. The slim and short form factor can limit mechanical clearance in non-standard housings or when rear cable management requires additional space.

Key specifications

• Category performance: CAT6A, supports up to 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Cabling type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Form factor: Slim and short keystone module compatible with standard keystone openings
• Mounting: Fits keystone wall plates, patch panels and modular housings

How to use

Terminate the incoming UTP cable pairs following standard CAT6A wiring color codes and use an appropriate punch-down tool or insulation displacement connector recommended for keystone modules. Insert the module into a compatible keystone opening until it snaps into place. Verify continuity and wiring order with a network tester before connecting active equipment. For best performance, maintain proper cable pair untwist lengths and follow cable routing practices to minimize bends and interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your patch panel, wall plate or modular keystone housing dimensions
• Ensure your cabling is CAT6A rated if you require 10 Gbps links
• Decide if unshielded (UTP) construction is suitable for your electromagnetic environment
• Check termination tools and tester availability for reliable installations

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use this CAT6A UTP keystone with properly certified CAT6A cables, avoid excessive cable bends near the termination point, and test each link after installation. Use standard keystone plates and maintain proper cable management to preserve signal integrity in high-density environments.
