Keystone Jack ShiverPeaks Cat. 6A STP Toolless BS08-10032, RJ45 network connector

ShiverPeaks Keystone Jack BS08-10032 is a Cat. 6A STP toolless keystone jack for RJ45 Ethernet connections. It is designed to support Category 6A performance with shielded twisted-pair protection, enabling reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in shielded structured cabling environments. The toolless termination system allows quick, tool-free connection of shielded network cables and fits standard keystone wall plates, patch panels and network outlets used in commercial and residential installations.

Advantages

The toolless design simplifies installation by eliminating punch-down tools and reducing termination time, while the shielded construction improves immunity to external electromagnetic interference. Compact keystone form factor ensures compatibility with standard plates and panels. The jack is designed to maintain Cat. 6A performance across all four pairs and supports high-speed Ethernet applications up to 10 Gbps when used in a properly installed shielded cabling system.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office and data center patching
• Shielded structured cabling installations requiring reduced EMI
• Wall plate and modular outlet terminations in commercial buildings
• Residential gigabit networks where shielded cabling is used
• Quick field terminations and network upgrades without punch-down tools

Key specifications

• Category rating: Category 6A (Cat. 6A) performance
• Shielding: Shielded twisted-pair (STP) protection to reduce EMI
• Connector type: RJ45 keystone jack form factor for modular panels and wall plates
• Termination method: Toolless termination for quick field installation
• Data rate support: Supports Ethernet up to 10 Gbps over shielded cabling
• Compatibility: Fits standard keystone openings in patch panels, wall plates and outlets

How to use

Prepare the shielded twisted-pair cable by stripping the outer jacket and exposing the foil/braid shield according to the jack manufacturer’s guidelines. Arrange the individual pairs in the specified sequence, insert the conductors into the toolless termination slots and close the termination cap or housing to secure the wires. Ensure the shield is properly bonded to the jack’s metal shell or drain wire contact to maintain shielding continuity. Snap the keystone jack into the chosen wall plate or patch panel until it locks in place, then test the link for continuity and performance using appropriate network test equipment.

Recommendations

Use this shielded keystone jack within a fully shielded cabling system, including shielded connectors, outlets and proper grounding, to achieve specified Cat. 6A performance and reduce electromagnetic interference. Verify cable pair mapping and continuity after termination and use a certified cable tester for 10G link validation.
