Modular RJ-45 plug for round shielded cable, DIGITUS DN-MO-8-8-SRS, transparent, pack of 100

The DIGITUS modular RJ-45 plug for round shielded cable is a two-piece, transparent male connector designed for terminating shielded round Ethernet cables. The removable two-part design allows the conductors to be guided into the correct order before final assembly, simplifying installation and reducing wiring errors. This CAT5e-capable, shielded connector provides reliable contact performance and protection against electromagnetic interference for both home and professional patch cable assembly.

Advantages

The two-piece construction ensures accurate conductor alignment and faster, more consistent terminations without needing complex tooling. Shielding improves resistance to EMI, while phosphor bronze contacts with nickel and 0.6 µm gold plating ensure stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The polycarbonate housing offers mechanical strength and a transparent appearance for visual inspection. The connector meets common cabling standards and is suitable for repeated mating cycles.

Suitable for

• Assembly of shielded patch cables
• Repairs and custom Ethernet leads
• Professional and home network installations requiring EMI protection

How to use

Insert the stripped conductors into the guide piece in the correct wiring sequence, verify order visually through the transparent housing, then join the two parts and crimp according to the crimp tool manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the cable shield is properly terminated to the connector’s shield to maintain EMI protection. After crimping, check continuity and pairing with a cable tester before deploying the cable.

Recommendations

Use a compatible RJ-45 crimp tool designed for two-piece modular plugs and test each assembled cable. For best performance, use shielded cable of appropriate diameter within the specified AWG range and ensure the shield is properly grounded at least at one end.
