Wirepath PLUG-RJ45-CAT6-SHLD Shielded Cat6 RJ45 Connector

Product Description

The WIREPATH PLUG-RJ45-CAT6-SHLD is a shielded RJ45 modular connector rated for Category 6 structured cabling installations. The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making it appropriate for data runs in electrically noisy environments such as commercial buildings, industrial spaces, and AV equipment rooms. Low-voltage technicians, network installers, and structured cabling contractors use this connector when terminating Cat6 cable at patch panels, wall plates, or directly on equipment runs that require a shielded plug termination.

This connector suits residential and commercial low-voltage installations where Cat6 performance is required. Typical applications include structured cabling runs to workstations, access control panels, IP cameras, VoIP endpoints, and AV distribution equipment. It is sold as an individual unit, making it suitable for single-point repairs or small-quantity terminations alongside bulk connector orders.

Key Features

• Shielded construction reduces EMI and crosstalk on Cat6 runs
• RJ45 form factor fits standard Cat6 cable diameters
• Modular plug design for field termination without specialized tooling beyond a standard RJ45 crimp tool
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or mixed-quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field-termination connector for shielded Cat6 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician following TIA-568 cabling standards. Power down any PoE switch ports or powered endpoints before terminating connectors on active runs. A calibrated RJ45 crimp tool appropriate for shielded Cat6 plugs is required for proper termination. Verify conductor seating and shielding contact before crimping to ensure signal integrity and a secure ground path.
