EFB Elektronik RJ45 Keystone Slimline/Shortbody Cat.6A, shielded, 29.2 mm, tool-free mounting

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 Keystone Slimline/Shortbody Cat.6A is a shielded keystone module designed for compact installations. With a 29.2 mm shortbody housing and component certification for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this Cat.6A module supports high-speed data transmission while fitting into outlet boxes, underfloor distribution systems and patch panels where space is limited. The module provides tool-free mounting and clear TIA/EIA 568 A/B pair management for straightforward termination.

Advantages

The slimline shortbody design reduces required installation depth without compromising shielding performance. Tool-free mounting speeds up installation and reduces the need for specialized tools. The module includes cable organizers for both solid and stranded conductors (AWG23/1–22/1 and AWG26/7), a dust cap to protect contacts prior to use, and a quick guide to simplify termination. Shielding improves immunity to electromagnetic interference in environments with increased noise.

Suitable for

• Outlet boxes and wall plates with limited depth
• Underfloor distribution channels and raised-floor cabinets
• Compact patch panels and modular faceplates
• Business and data-center links requiring 10 Gigabit capability

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A, component-certified for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: full metallic shield for enhanced EMI protection
• Form factor: slimline shortbody, 29.2 mm depth
• Termination: tool-free mounting with TIA/EIA 568 A/B pair management
• Compatible conductors: solid AWG23/1–22/1 and stranded AWG26/7
• Included accessories: cable organizers, dust cap, quick guide

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the jacket to the recommended length and arrange the pairs according to TIA/EIA 568 A or B as required. Insert conductors into the color-coded slots of the module and complete termination using the integrated tool-free mechanism. Ensure the shield is bonded to the outlet or faceplate ground when installing in a shielded system. Fit the dust cap if the port will remain unused for protection against contamination.

Recommendations

Use the module in installations that require shallow mounting depth or tight spacing. Verify grounding of the shield in each outlet to maintain full EMI protection, and select the correct pair scheme (568A or 568B) consistently across the link. For permanent links, avoid excessive bend radius and follow cable manufacturer guidelines for maximum pulling force.
