CAT5E RJ45 Shielded Connector – STP Plug for EMI Protection

The CAT5E RJ45 Shielded Connector (STP) from Attac is engineered for enhanced signal integrity in environments prone to electromagnetic interference. Designed to terminate shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, this connector ensures secure Ethernet transmission with reduced crosstalk, improved grounding, and long-lasting durability.

Product Features

• Type: RJ45 8P8C Plug
• Category: CAT5E
• Shielding: Full metal EMI-resistant shell (STP)
• Compatibility: Works with CAT5 and CAT5E STP cables
• Use Case: Terminate Ethernet patch cables or custom-length STP runs
• Standards: Meets ANSI/TIA-568 requirements

EMI Shielding for Harsh Environments

This cat5e rj45 shielded connector is ideal for use in areas with high electrical noise—such as factories, industrial sites, server rooms, and areas near power distribution units. The full metal shield encasing the connector protects signals from electromagnetic interference, maintaining stable data flow and reducing packet loss or signal drops.

Reliable Ethernet Performance

Optimised for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and compatible with standard CAT5 networks, this connector provides backwards compatibility and stable connections over shielded cabling systems. It supports 24-26 AWG solid or stranded conductors and is suitable for professional installations and maintenance teams.

Easy Termination

The connector features gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and stable conductivity. Its crimp-style construction allows easy termination with standard RJ45 crimping tools. Combine it with our CAT5E Grey Patchlead or build custom cables to your preferred length.

Applications

• Data centres and server rooms
• Office and enterprise structured cabling
• Industrial and manufacturing facilities
• EMI-sensitive audio/video setups

Durable and Long-Lasting

The robust metal housing protects the internal contacts during repeated insertions and removals. Its clip protector helps maintain secure connections, while the internal strain relief supports the cable and minimises breakage at the termination point.
