Connettore modulare schermato ACT RJ45 (8P/8C) per cavo tondo con conduttori a trefoli

Intronics RJ-45 Shielded Connectors CAT5 pack of 25 offers shielded RJ-45 terminations suitable for CAT5 networking. Each connector is designed to accept standard 8P8C cables and provide a grounded shield that reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal integrity in wired Ethernet installations. The pack of 25 ensures sufficient spare parts for small installations, repairs, and testing tasks.

Advantages

The shielded design provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded plugs, which helps maintain stable data transmission. These connectors are compatible with standard RJ-45 cables used in CAT5 networks and are supplied in a multi-piece pack that simplifies procurement for installers. The compact form factor and standard pin layout make them suitable for use with modular jacks and common patch cable assemblies.

Suitable for

• Wiring and terminating CAT5 Ethernet patch cables
• Network repairs and on-site maintenance
• Small office and home network installations
• Laboratory testing and prototype network builds

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 (8P8C) shielded
• Category support: CAT5 Ethernet
• Quantity per pack: 25 pieces
• Shielding: metal shield for EMI protection
• Compatibility: standard 8-core twisted-pair cables

How to use

Prepare the CAT5 cable by stripping the outer jacket and untwisting the pairs to the required length. Arrange the conductors in the chosen wiring standard (TIA/EIA 568A or 568B), then insert the wires fully into the RJ-45 connector so each conductor reaches its contact. Ensure the metal shield on the connector makes contact with the cable's drain wire or shield braid if present. Crimp the connector with an appropriate RJ-45 shielded crimp tool, verify mechanical retention, and test the terminated cable with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and pair integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable results use a dedicated shielded RJ-45 crimping tool and test each terminated cable with a cable tester. Maintain correct pair twisting as close to the termination point as possible to preserve signal performance, and ensure the shield is properly grounded at one or both ends according to your installation requirements.
