InLine RJ45 plug Cat.8.1 2000MHz, field-installable, shielded, with screw cap

The InLine RJ45 plug Cat.8.1 2000MHz is a field-installable, shielded RJ-45 connector with a screw cap, designed for installation on rigid-core installation cables. It supports very high bandwidths up to 2000 MHz and is suitable for reliable male connector terminations for network applications requiring up to 10 Gbps and beyond when used within category specifications.

Advantages

This shielded Cat.8.1 RJ45 plug offers a screw cap for secure mechanical fastening and reliable shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. It is field-installable, which allows on-site termination without special factory tooling, and its silver housing provides durable metal shielding for improved signal integrity. The plug fits rigid-core installation cables and is compatible with common installation categories such as Cat.5e, Cat.6, Cat.6a and Cat.7/7A when the cable cores match.

Suitable for

• Field termination of rigid-core Ethernet installation cables
• High-speed networks requiring up to 2000 MHz bandwidth
• Environments where additional shielding is needed to reduce EMI
• On-site repairs or custom-length patch leads

How to use

Prepare the rigid-core installation cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging the cores according to the wiring standard you require (T568A or T568B). Insert the individual conductors fully into the appropriate positions of the plug, slide the shielded screw cap over the cable and tighten to secure the shield connection. Verify correct pinout and mechanical stability before inserting the connector into network equipment.

Recommendations

Use this field-installable Cat.8.1 plug with rigid-core installation cables and follow standard termination practices to ensure proper contact and shielding; avoid using on solid/stranded mismatches and check that cable category and performance requirements meet your network design.
