Field Termination Plug DIGITUS CAT 6A STP RJ-45 Male with dust cap and bend relief — pack of 10

The DIGITUS CAT 6A STP field termination plug is a metalized RJ-45 male connector designed for on-site assembly and repair of shielded CAT6A network cables. Supplied with a preassembled dust cap and bend relief, the plug supports connections from voice networks up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is intended for fast field termination without the need for special tools.

Advantages

The design features a robust zinc die-cast housing and a 360° cable screen connection to improve EMI protection. Preassembled protection cap and bend relief simplify handling while the construction allows reliable transmission even in environments with external interference. Rapid assembly in about 60 seconds and compatibility with a wide range of conductor cross-sections make this plug suitable for repairs, custom cable lengths and extensions.

Suitable for

• Field termination and on-site cable repairs
• Creating custom-length CAT6A shielded cables
• Industrial and professional Ethernet installations requiring STP connectors
• Upgrades to 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks

When it may not be suitable

This plug is intended for shielded (STP) CAT6A cabling; it is not suitable for unshielded (UTP) cable types unless a compatible shielded cable preparation is used. For assemblies requiring non-metallic or plastic housings, aesthetic finishes, or connectors with different mechanical form factors, choose a different connector style.

• Package quantity: 10 pieces

How to use

Prepare the shielded CAT6A cable by stripping the outer jacket and folding back the drain wire/shield according to the plug preparation guidance. Insert the prepared cable into the plug until the conductors seat correctly and the shield makes full 360° contact with the housing. Engage the bend relief and dust cap as supplied to secure the assembly. The plug is designed for assembly in approximately 60 seconds without special tools when the cable is prepared to the specified dimensions.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires shielded CAT6A cable and correct shielding preparation to ensure 360° screen contact
• Not intended for unshielded (UTP) cables unless converted appropriately
• Check conductor sizes in your cables to match supported AWG ranges
• Verify space and connector form factor suitability for your installation location

Recommendations

For reliable screening and performance, ensure the cable shield is cleanly trimmed and evenly folded to make complete contact with the metal housing; test terminated links according to your network verification procedure to confirm PoE and 10 Gigabit performance where required.
