Telegärtner MFP8 T568 A Cat.6A RJ-45 connector, black/silver

Telegärtner MFP8 T568 A Cat.6A RJ-45 connector in black/silver is a field-assembled connector for Cat6A network cabling that follows the T568A wiring scheme. The connector is built with a robust zinc diecast housing and full 360° shielding to ensure reliable signal transmission in demanding environments. It features a pre-assembled protection cap and a four-chamber wire manager with the T568A colour code, and is suitable for structured cabling, patch panels and on-site terminations where Cat6A performance is required.

Advantages

The connector offers full metal shielding between pairs of wires and overall 360° shielding to protect against external interference. Three strain relief settings accommodate cable diameters from 5.0 mm to 9.0 mm, while piercing contacts accept both solid and stranded conductors for flexible installation. Assembly can be completed in approximately 60 seconds without special tools, making it practical for repairs, extensions and quick on-site installations. The zinc diecast housing provides mechanical robustness and long-term reliability in office, data centre and industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Field assembly and on-site cable terminations for Cat6A networks
• Patch panels and structured cabling installations in offices and data centres
• Industrial network cabling and environments with increased electromagnetic interference
• Network repairs, extensions and creating special cable lengths

How to use

Prepare the Cat6A cable by stripping the outer jacket to the length recommended by the connector manufacturer, fan out the pairs and arrange them according to the T568A colour code in the four-chamber wire manager. Insert the conductor ends into the piercing contacts, position the pre-assembled protection cap and close the housing. Select the appropriate strain relief setting for the cable diameter and secure the housing to achieve proper 360° shielding and mechanical retention. Test the terminated link with suitable network testing equipment to verify continuity and Cat6A performance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate cable preparation tools and follow local cabling standards. For installations in industrial or high-interference environments, ensure proper grounding of shielded cabling. Verify cable diameter and select the correct strain relief position to maintain mechanical stability and shielding integrity. Perform certification testing after termination to confirm Cat6A compliance and reliable transmission.
