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

The ACT RJ45 connector TD108B for round cable with solid conductors is a shielded modular plug designed to terminate 8P/8C network cables. Constructed from durable polycarbonate with a silver finish, the connector is intended for use with round cables that contain solid copper conductors. The shielded design helps reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for data and voice networks. Packaged in quantities of 25, this connector suits installations where reliable physical connections are required for Ethernet and other balanced twisted-pair applications.

Advantages

The ACT TD108B features a robust polycarbonate housing that provides mechanical strength and dimensional stability for repeated insertions. Its shielded configuration offers protection against external interference, supporting more stable data transmission in environments with potential electromagnetic noise. The silver color indicates the metallic-shield finish, and the modular 8P/8C form factor ensures compatibility with standard RJ45 jacks and network equipment. Supplied in multi-packs, the connector is convenient for batch terminations and site installations.

Suitable for

• Terminating round Ethernet cables with solid conductors
• Shielded twisted-pair (STP) network installations
• Structured cabling for data and voice networks
• On-site patch panel and drop cable assembly

How to use

Prepare the round cable by stripping the outer jacket to the recommended length, taking care not to damage the solid conductors. Arrange and align the individual conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), then insert the conductor set fully into the TD108B connector so each conductor seats correctly in its contact slot. Use an appropriate crimping tool designed for shielded RJ45 plugs to secure the connector onto the cable and to engage the shield if required. Verify continuity and correct pinout with a cable tester after termination.

Recommendations

Use the ACT TD108B with solid-conductor round cables within their specified diameter range and with compatible crimping tools for shielded plugs. Test each terminated cable for continuity and shielding effectiveness to ensure reliable network performance, and store connectors in their pack until use to avoid contamination or damage.
