Extralink Keystone CAT6A STP RJ45 angled metallic keystone jack, single-port

Extralink Keystone CAT6A STP RJ45 angled metallic keystone jack, single-port is a shielded keystone module designed for CAT6A installations. The angled metal housing and RJ45 female connector provide a compact, durable solution for terminating shielded twisted-pair (STP) Ethernet cabling in wall plates, patch panels or surface-mount boxes. It supports high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and is intended for professional structured cabling systems in office networks, server rooms and data closets.

Advantages

The metallic construction ensures effective shielding against electromagnetic interference and improves grounding continuity when used with shielded cable and compatible outlets. The angled format reduces strain on cables and helps manage space in crowded patch panels or outlet enclosures. Compatibility with CAT6A performance levels provides headroom for high-bandwidth applications and futureproofs installations where higher data rates and lower crosstalk are required.

Suitable for

• Terminating shielded CAT6A Ethernet cabling in wall plates and patch panels
• High-density rack environments and server rooms
• Office networks, VoIP, IP cameras and networked workstations
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where STP shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 female, angled
• Category: CAT6A, shielded twisted pair (STP)
• Housing material: metallic keystone enclosure
• Port count: single-port keystone module
• Application: structured cabling for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Prepare shielded CAT6A cable by stripping outer jacket and exposing the drain wire and foil shield according to installation standards. Terminate individual conductors to the keystone jack IDC or punch-down contacts following the colour code printed on the module, ensuring the cable shield and drain wire are connected to the jack’s grounding point. Insert the assembled keystone into a compatible wall plate or patch panel opening until it snaps into place. After mounting, test the link with a network tester that verifies CAT6A performance and continuity of the shield.

Recommendations

Use with compatible shielded connectors, metal faceplates and properly bonded cable trays or grounding points to maintain the effectiveness of STP shielding. Avoid sharp bends near the termination point and follow TIA/EIA or ISO/IEC cabling standards for best performance.
