Tool-less RJ45 Cat.6A STP Network Connector by ShiverPeaks, model 08-51011

Tool-less RJ45 Cat.6A STP Network Connector by ShiverPeaks, model 08-51011 is a shielded termination plug designed for Category 6A cabling that enables tool-free installation. The connector provides a sealed RJ45 interface suitable for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is intended for use in shielded twisted-pair (STP) structured cabling environments. It is intended to simplify field termination, reduce installation time and provide a reliable shielded contact between cables and patch panels, outlets or equipment.

Advantages

The tool-less design eliminates the need for crimping tools or special termination kits, allowing faster on-site installation and simplified cable handling. The integrated shielding maintains the continuity of the cable shield and reduces electromagnetic interference in STP systems. The connector supports Cat.6A performance parameters for high bandwidth and is compatible with standard RJ45 ports, providing a compact and sealed interface that helps maintain signal integrity for 10GbE links.

Suitable for

• Field termination of Cat.6A STP cables without specialized tools
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet patching and short links in data center or office environments
• Shielded structured cabling installations where EMI protection is required
• Quick repairs or temporary connections during installation and testing

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6A (Cat.6A)
• Shielding: Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) continuity via integrated connector shield
• Interface: RJ45 plug compatible with standard RJ45 sockets
• Performance: Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) transmission
• Installation: Tool-less termination mechanism for quick field assembly
• Contacts: Gold-plated contact surfaces for reliable electrical contact
• Enclosure: Compact, sealed RJ45 housing to protect contacts and shield termination

How to use

Prepare the Cat.6A STP cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the foil and pairs to the recommended length specified for the connector. Untwist pairs only as required, align conductors to the connector's wiring guide and insert them fully into the termination slots. Engage the tool-less mechanism to secure the conductors and the cable shield to the connector body. Verify that the shield is properly terminated to ensure continuity. Plug the terminated connector into the target RJ45 port and test the link with appropriate network testing equipment to confirm performance and wiring correctness.
