specifications

The TX6A™ Shielded Field Term RJ45 Plug is a simple-to-attach plug for

field termination of 4-pair shielded twisted pair cable. Providing Category 6A

performance the TX6A™ plug is also compatible with Category 6 and 5e

shielded systems. The two-piece straight TX6A™ shielded plug terminates

4-pair, 22 - 26 AWG, 100 ohm shielded twisted pair cable and uses proven

TG-style forward motion termination technology to optimize performance by

maintaining cable pair geometry while eliminating conductor untwist.

TX6A™ Shielded Field Term RJ45 Plug

applications

The simple-to-attach TX6A™ Shielded Field Term RJ45 Plug is ideal for connecting network-powered

devices to shielded networks using MPTL links or anywhere field attachment of a plug to shielded

cable is desired. Typical applications include:

• Wireless access points (WAPs)

• Power over Ethernet (PoE) LED lighting

• IP security cameras and motion sensors

• Building access control points

• Network-attached Audio/Video equipment

• Other PoE or HDBASE-T powered network

devices
