ProLink PL‑RJ6AS — CAT6A STP Connector, 10G RJ45 (Shielded)

Key Features:

• Category 6A (Cat6A) Performance — Meets ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D Category 6A requirements for high‑speed 10 Gbps Ethernet networks.

• Shielded (STP / S‑FTP) Connector — Designed for shielded twisted pair cables to help reduce EMI and maintain signal integrity.

• RJ45 Interface (8P8C) — Standard network plug interface compatible with 10G Ethernet ports.

• Tool‑less IDC Termination — No special crimp tool needed; termination is performed via insulation displacement contact (IDC) for fast assembly in the field.

• Supports Solid & Stranded Conductors — Works with 23–26 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors found in Cat6A cables.

• Cable Compatibility: For round, shielded Ethernet cable with outer diameter ~5.1 – 6 mm.

• Durability: Minimum 750 plug insertion cycles rated.

• Operating Range: -40 °C to +60 °C (typical for network connectors).

Performance & Use:

The PL‑RJ6AS connector is suitable for terminating shielded Cat6A cables in installations where 10 Gbps Ethernet performance is required (e.g., data centers, enterprise LANs, backbone links). The STP design helps minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in noisy environments, improving overall link reliability. The tool‑less termination lets technicians assemble connectors quickly without specialized crimping tools, which speeds up large‑scale deployments.
