Description

Black Box FT048A-R3 CAT6A Shielded RJ45 Modular Plug

Overview

The Black Box FT048A-R3 is a shielded RJ45 modular plug designed for terminating CAT6A network cables. It provides a secure, high-performance connection for data networks where signal integrity is critical, such as in industrial automation or high-density data center environments. This plug ensures that your CAT6A cabling performs to its rated specifications, minimizing interference and signal loss for reliable data transmission.

Compatibility

This plug is specifically engineered for use with 23 AWG solid CAT6A shielded cable. It is designed to terminate 8-position, 8-conductor (8P8C) connectors, commonly found in modern network infrastructure. Ensure your cable jacket diameter and conductor gauge match these specifications for optimal termination.

Installation Notes

Termination requires a specialized crimping tool designed for shielded modular plugs to ensure the shield is properly connected and grounded. A standard crimp tool for unshielded plugs will not suffice. Proper crimping pressure is essential to seat the conductors correctly and ensure the integrity of the shield connection. A cable jacket stripper and a modular plug crimping tool are required.
