Connettore RJ-45 Alantec WT108, acciaio inox, 1 pezzo

Alantec WT108 is a shielded RJ-45 male wire connector finished in stainless steel and supplied as a single piece. It is designed for terminating STP Ethernet or network cables with thick solid conductors (23–24 AWG), offering a metal housing that improves mechanical protection and supports cable shielding and grounding in industrial or professional networking environments.

Advantages

The stainless steel housing provides enhanced mechanical durability and resistance to wear, while the shielded design maintains continuity of cable screening to reduce electromagnetic interference. Built for use with thick solid wires, this RJ-45 male connector ensures a reliable contact with 23–24 AWG conductors and helps achieve stable network performance in harsh or demanding installation conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet installations requiring shielded terminations
• Professional network cabling with 23–24 AWG solid conductors
• Environments where mechanical protection and grounding are needed
• Patching and permanent link terminations for shielded twisted-pair cables

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 male (modular plug)
• Compatibility: Shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables with solid conductors
• Conductor size supported: 23–24 AWG (thick solid wire)
• Housing material/finish: Stainless steel (metal housing for mechanical protection)
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Prepare the STP cable by stripping the outer jacket and foil/braid shielding to expose the twisted pairs, keeping sufficient length for correct pairing and alignment. Arrange the conductors according to the required wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and insert the solid conductors straight into the RJ-45 contact slots until fully seated. Use a compatible crimping tool rated for shielded modular plugs to crimp the connector, ensuring the metal housing makes proper contact with the cable shield for effective grounding. Verify continuity and correct pinout with a cable tester after termination.

Recommendations

For reliable results, use this connector only with solid 23–24 AWG conductors and an appropriate crimping die for shielded RJ-45 plugs. Maintain the cable shield continuity by correctly folding the foil/braid against the connector body before crimping and avoid bending the cable sharply at the termination point to preserve signal integrity.
