Telegärtner UFP8 Cat.6a RJ45 Field-Terminable Plug, T568A, Shielded, with Dust Cap

Terminating shielded Cat.6a cables in the field often means juggling separate components and hoping the shielding stays intact. The Telegärtner UFP8 plug solves this by integrating a fully automatic shielding mechanism into a rugged, tool-less design. Preloaded with a T568A wiring scheme and a protective dust cap, it delivers reliable 10 Gigabit performance without the usual hassle.
