Telegärtner STX V1 RJ45 Plug Insert Cat.6, Straight, 8P8C, Shielded, Tool-less IDC, J80026A0004

For installers who need a field-terminable RJ45 plug that performs like a factory-molded connector, the Telegärtner STX V1 insert (J80026A0004) delivers Cat.6 performance without crimp tools. Its zinc die-cast housing and tool-less IDC termination set it apart from typical plastic plugs, allowing clean, repeatable assembly on solid or stranded conductors in seconds. The straight 8P8C orientation fits standard RJ45 sockets, while the shielded design maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Highlights

• Tool-less IDC termination – no crimp tool required, re-terminable up to 4 times
• Cat.6 performance compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and TIA/EIA 568-C.2
• Shielded zinc die-cast housing with nickel plating for durability and EMI protection
• Supports solid (AWG 24/1–22/1) and stranded (AWG 27/7–22/7) conductors
• Accepts cable diameters from 4.5 mm to 8.0 mm
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for ≥750 mating cycles
• PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt) compatible

In daily use

This insert is the core of the STX V1 plug system: prepare the cable, insert the wires into the color-coded IDC slots, and close the housing – no special tools needed. The straight cable entry suits patch cords and equipment connections in tight spaces. The robust metal body withstands frequent handling, and the wide operating temperature range (-40 °C to +70 °C) makes it suitable for industrial or outdoor enclosures. Because the insert can be re-terminated up to four times, it reduces waste and speeds up troubleshooting.
