Optical Cable Corp. OCCSFP6A CAT6A Stp Modular Plug T568B

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. OCCSFP6A is a Category 6A shielded field-terminable modular plug wired to the T568B standard. Designed for structured cabling installations, this connector terminates shielded twisted-pair cable without factory pre-termination, allowing technicians to cut and terminate runs to exact length on the job. The plug supports the full bandwidth demands of CAT6A cabling, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications where shielding is required to control alien crosstalk. Network installers and low-voltage technicians use this connector in commercial and enterprise data cabling projects where field flexibility and STP continuity are essential.

This plug is used in commercial, institutional, and enterprise network installations where CAT6A STP cabling infrastructure is required. Typical applications include horizontal runs to workstation outlets, patch panel terminations, and equipment room connections. The field-terminable design is well suited for custom-length drops and retrofit projects where pre-made patch cords are not practical. Installers working under structured cabling standards such as TIA-568 will find this connector appropriate for new construction and renovation work requiring 10GBase-T support.

Key Features

• Category 6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielded (STP) construction for alien crosstalk mitigation in dense cable environments
• T568B wiring configuration for standard patch cord and horizontal cabling terminations
• Field-terminable design allows on-site cable cutting and termination to exact length
• Sold individually, enabling precise quantity purchasing for project-specific needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field connector for use with Category 6A shielded twisted-pair cable in structured cabling installations compliant with TIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or registered communications distribution designer (RCDD) familiar with TIA-568 termination practices. Disconnect or power down any active equipment at the jack or switch port before terminating the connector. Use a cable stripper and termination tool appropriate for CAT6A STP cable to avoid damaging the drain wire or foil shield. Maintain shielding continuity throughout the termination to preserve the STP performance characteristics of the link.
