Modular RJ45 Connector ShiverPeaks SHVP BS08-02050 Interlock — Ethernet plug, shielded modular connector

The Modular RJ45 Connector ShiverPeaks SHVP BS08-02050 Interlock is a shielded Ethernet modular plug intended for terminating network cables in structured cabling and custom cable assemblies. Designed with an interlock retention mechanism and metallic shielding, this connector supports reliable mechanical and electrical contact for RJ45 interfaces used in LAN installations, patch panels and keystone jacks. The design emphasizes consistent mating performance and protection against electromagnetic interference in environments where a shielded connection is required.

Advantages

This shielded modular connector offers interlock-style retention that secures the plug in RJ45 sockets and keystone modules, reducing accidental disconnections. Its metallic shielding provides improved immunity to external EMI compared with unshielded plugs, supporting stable data transmission in noisy environments. The connector is compatible with common twisted-pair Ethernet cables and is intended to enable clean field terminations and custom cable assemblies with reliable contact alignment and mechanical strength.

Suitable for

• Field termination of Ethernet cables in office and industrial LANs
• Making patch cables and custom length network assemblies
• Termination for shielded keystone jacks and patch panels
• Environments requiring improved EMI protection for Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Connector type: modular RJ45 plug with interlock retention
• Shielding: metallic shield for EMI protection
• Application: Ethernet/ twisted-pair network cable termination
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard RJ45 keystone jacks and patch panels
• Use case: suitable for field terminations and custom cable assemblies

How to use

Prepare the network cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the twisted pairs, then align and arrange conductors according to the target wiring standard. Insert the conductors into the modular plug until fully seated, ensuring correct pair alignment and contact with the plug's contacts. Use an appropriate crimping or terminating tool designed for the connector to secure the conductors and engage the interlock retention. After termination, verify continuity and correct pair wiring with a cable tester before placing the cable into service.

Recommendations

For optimal results, use the connector with shielded twisted-pair cable and ensure the cable shield is properly terminated to the plug shield to preserve EMI performance. Use compatible crimp tools and verify terminations with a network tester. Avoid excessive bending at the termination point and follow workplace safety procedures during installation.
