EFB Electronics Hirose TM21 RJ-45 Male Connector Cat.6A Shielded Field-Terminable

The EFB Electronics Hirose TM21 RJ-45 Connector is a high-performance, field-terminable plug designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Engineered for Cat.6A shielded cabling, this connector ensures excellent signal integrity and durability in demanding network environments.

Advantages

Tool-less IDC termination simplifies installation, reducing deployment time and minimizing errors. The robust zinc die-cast housing provides superior shielding against EMI/RFI, while gold-plated contacts (50µm) guarantee reliable conductivity over multiple mating cycles. Reusable up to 5 times, it offers cost-effective flexibility for network changes.
