West Penn Wire 106192 Cat6a Plug Extender Ground 50pk

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 106192 is a Cat6a shielded plug extender with grounding capability, sold in a bag of 50 pieces. This connector accessory is designed for use in structured cabling installations where Cat6a performance and EMI shielding continuity are required. It provides a reliable mechanical and electrical interface for extending or terminating shielded Cat6a plugs in data and communications cabling systems. Network installers and low-voltage cabling technicians working in commercial and industrial environments rely on this type of component to maintain signal integrity and grounding continuity across patch panel and field-termination assemblies.

This component is suited for structured cabling projects in commercial offices, data centers, and industrial facilities where shielded Cat6a cabling infrastructure is specified. It is typically installed during moves, adds, and changes to existing cabling runs, or during new installation of shielded horizontal or backbone cabling. Low-voltage technicians and network cabling contractors handle this type of termination hardware as part of larger cabling system builds or upgrades.

Key Features

• Cat6a rated for high-speed data cabling applications requiring 10GbE performance support
• Shielded grounding design maintains EMI protection continuity at the plug connection point
• Sold in a 50-piece bag for efficient use on multi-drop or multi-run cabling projects
• Designed for compatibility with shielded Cat6a plug assemblies in structured cabling systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use with shielded Cat6a plug assemblies in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or communications cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize and disconnect all active network equipment from the cabling run before handling termination hardware. Use appropriate Cat6a hand tools and follow the cable manufacturer's bend radius and untwist length specifications to maintain performance ratings. Verify grounding continuity of the shielded assembly after installation per applicable codes.
