180 degree CAT6A 8P8C RJ45 STP shielded Keystone modular jack

    Descriptions    

The  "180 degree CAT6A 8P8C RJ45 STP shielded Keystone modular jack"  (TP-5228-C6AS8) refers to a  type of network connector used in structured cabling systems.

Let's break down what each part means:
CAT6A: This refers to Category 6A, which is a standard for twisted pair cables (Ethernet cables). CAT6A supports higher data rates and frequencies than its predecessor, CAT6, and is designed for 10GBASE-T Ethernet and potentially higher speeds in the future.
8P8C: This stands for 8 positions, 8 conductors. It is the type of connector commonly used for Ethernet cables, where all eight wires inside the cable can be connected to eight corresponding pins in the connector.
RJ45: This is the standard name for the 8P8C modular connector used primarily for Ethernet networking. RJ45 connectors are used to terminate Ethernet cables.
STP: This stands for Shielded Twisted Pair. It indicates that the Keystone jack is shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. Shielding helps improve the performance of the cable in environments where interference may be an issue.
Keystone: This refers to the modular jack's physical design. Keystone jacks are rectangular plastic modules that snap into wall plates, patch panels, or surface mount boxes, allowing for easy customization and configuration of network connections.
180 degree: This specifies the cable entry and exit points on the Keystone jack. In a 180-degree configuration, the cable typically enters from one side and exits from the opposite side, providing a straightforward path for cable management.

In summary, a "180 degree CAT6A 8P8C RJ45 STP shielded Keystone modular jack" is a specific type of modular connector used for terminating CAT6A Ethernet cables in a shielded configuration, designed to fit into Keystone-compatible wall plates, patch panels, or surface mount boxes. It's suitable for high-speed Ethernet networking and offers protection against electromagnetic interference.

    Main Features    

The main feature of a Cat6a STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) keystone jack is its ability to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over a longer distance compared to Cat6 or lower categories.

Here are the key features:

Support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet: Cat6a (Category 6a) cabling is designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters (328 feet), making it suitable for high-speed data transmission requirements.

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP): The STP design includes shielding around each pair of wires, providing better protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which can degrade signal quality in high-speed applications.

Keystone Jack Compatibility: Keystone jacks are modular connectors that snap into wall plates, patch panels, or surface-mount boxes, allowing for easy installation and flexibility in configuring network connections.

Backward Compatibility: Cat6a STP keystone jacks are typically backward compatible with lower categories like Cat6 and Cat5e, enabling them to support older devices and networks while preparing for future upgrades.

Performance and Reliability: Due to its shielding and enhanced design, Cat6a STP cabling provides improved performance and reliability in environments where EMI is a concern, such as industrial settings or areas with high electrical interference.

Overall, the Cat6a STP keystone jack is chosen for its high-speed capabilities, reliability, and suitability for environments where robust performance and data integrity are crucial.
