Description

Black Box FMTP5ES-50PAK Shielded CAT5E Modular Plug - 50 Pack

Overview

The Black Box FMTP5ES-50PAK is a 50-count pack of shielded CAT5E modular plugs designed for terminating Ethernet patch cables. These plugs are essential for creating custom-length network runs or repairing damaged cables in environments where signal integrity is paramount, such as industrial automation or high-density data centers. The shielded design mitigates electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring cleaner data transmission compared to unshielded connectors.

Compatibility

These CAT5E modular plugs are compatible with standard 24 AWG solid or stranded copper Ethernet cable. They are designed for use with standard RJ45 crimping tools. The shielded construction requires a shielded cable jacket and proper grounding to be effective. They are suitable for use with any network device utilizing standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including managed switches, IP cameras, and network video recorders.

Installation Notes

Proper termination requires a crimping tool designed for RJ45 modular plugs and a cable stripper. Ensure the cable's drain wire is properly connected to the plug's shield to maintain EMI protection. The plugs are designed for 24 AWG cable; using different gauge wires may compromise connection integrity or strain the connector. A 50-pack provides sufficient quantity for multiple installations or repairs.
