Connector RJ-45 Telegärtner J00026A5001 — Silver, for Cat6a cables

Telegärtner J00026A5001 is a silver-finish RJ-45 connector designed for terminating Cat6a cables. The connector provides a durable metal housing and contact geometry suited for the performance requirements of Cat6a cabling, enabling stable Ethernet connections and supporting high-speed data transmission in LAN environments. It is intended for use where Cat6a-standard performance and reliable mechanical and electrical contacts are required.

Advantages

The metal construction offers enhanced shielding and robust mechanical protection compared with plastic housings, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. The connector is sized and shaped to accept Cat6a conductor pairs and maintain pair geometry, which supports consistent characteristic impedance and minimizes crosstalk. Its silver finish provides corrosion resistance and a professional appearance for visible terminations.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat6a twisted-pair Ethernet cables in structured cabling installations
• Data centers and server racks requiring high-speed 10GbE links over copper
• Office LANs and campus networks where Cat6a performance is specified
• Retrofits or new installations needing shielded or metal-housed RJ-45 terminations

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45, 8P8C
• Compatible cable category: Cat6a
• Housing material: metal (silver finish)
• Contact arrangement: 8 conductors, standard Ethernet pinout
• Application: Ethernet networking up to Cat6a performance, including 10GBASE-T where supported by cable length and installation

How to use

Prepare the Cat6a cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the four twisted pairs, keeping as much pair length as possible to preserve pair twist. Arrange conductors according to the required wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and insert them fully into the connector until each contact seats. Ensure the pair geometry is preserved and the cable jacket is secured in the connector to provide strain relief. Use an appropriate crimping or termination tool compatible with metal RJ-45 housings, following the tool manufacturer’s instructions for a solid mechanical and electrical termination.

Recommendations

Use with properly rated Cat6a cabling and termination tools to achieve specified performance. Avoid excessive untwisting of pairs and ensure secure strain relief to maintain signal integrity. Where environmental exposure or EMI is a concern, verify that the metal housing and any additional shielding are properly connected to system ground as required.
