ACT RJ45 (8P/8C) CAT6 easyconnect shielded modulaire connector for round cable with solid or stranded conductors

The ACT RJ45 Connector TD168C CAT6 Easyconnect Shielded Modular is designed for terminated network connections with round cables using solid or stranded conductors. Constructed from durable polycarbonate, the connector features a metallic and transparent finish and provides shielded connectivity suitable for CAT6 installations. Each pack contains 25 connectors to support multiple terminations in office, data center or home network setups.

Advantages

The shielded modular design reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity for high-speed data transmission over CAT6 cabling. The Easyconnect termination style simplifies the installation process and supports both solid and stranded round cables. Polycarbonate construction offers mechanical durability and a clear housing for visual inspection of conductor alignment.

How to use

Prepare the round cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors and maintain the cable shield continuity where applicable. Arrange conductors according to the chosen wiring standard, insert the conductors fully into the Easyconnect connector until they reach the contact points, and use a compatible termination tool or crimping device designed for Easyconnect CAT6 modular plugs to secure the termination. Verify the connection visually through the transparent housing and test continuity and performance with an appropriate network tester before deployment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use with properly rated CAT6 shielded cable and ensure the cable shield is correctly bonded to ground. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and follow standard installation practices to maintain NEXT and return loss characteristics. Test each terminated link with a CAT6-capable tester to confirm signal integrity.
