LogiLink MP0085 Field Assembly Cat.8.1 RJ45 Plug, Shielded, Extra Short

Supporting 25/40 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies up to 2000 MHz, this field-assembly RJ45 plug delivers Category 8.1 performance in an extra-short, tool-free design.

Overview

The LogiLink MP0085 is a shielded RJ45 connector engineered for high-speed networking, compatible with Cat.6A, Cat.7, and Cat.8 cables. Its compact, extra-short housing fits tight spaces, while the die-cast zinc body ensures durability. The plug supports solid and stranded conductors from AWG26/7 to AWG22/1, with a cable diameter range of 5.0 to 9.0 mm. Gold-plated contacts (50µ") guarantee reliable signal integrity, and the connector is reusable up to five times.
