RJ45 CAT 6 (Metallic) Connector KSH 4500 EXCL OF VAT 1000 PCS Features Connector Type: The RJ45 connector is the standard for Ethernet cables, and the CAT 6 version supports higher speeds and bandwidth compared to CAT 5 connectors. The metallic housing offers added strength, protection, and shielding, making it ideal for environments with higher electromagnetic interference or where extra durability is needed. Compatibility: Designed for use with Category 6 cables, the RJ45 CAT 6 (Metallic) connector supports data speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 55 meters (for 10 Gbps speed) and up to 100 meters for 1 Gbps Ethernet connections. It is backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 cables, but for optimal performance, it’s recommended to use it with CAT 6 cables. Construction: Metal Housing: The metallic housing provides extra shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring the integrity of the data transmitted through the cable. Eight Pins: The eight internal pins are designed to ensure proper alignment with the eight internal wires in the CAT 6 cable, supporting high-speed data transmission. Gold-Plated Contacts: Gold-plated contacts provide a clean, corrosion-resistant connection, ensuring a long-lasting and stable signal. Performance: The metallic housing enhances signal integrity, ensuring that data can be transmitted at high speeds without degradation due to external interference. The connector is designed to handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and data-intensive tasks. It also reduces the risk of crosstalk, which can interfere with data transfer speeds Installation: To install, strip the CAT 6 cable, align the wires according to either the T568A or T568B wiring standard, and secure them into the RJ45 metallic connector using a crimping tool. The metallic housing is more durable than plastic connectors, making it easier to handle in demanding environments where robustness is essential.
