Simply45 is the industry-leading brand for RJ45 modular plug innovation and performance solutions. The S45-1050 is a single piece fully shielded with internal ground Standard WE/SS RJ45 modular plug for shielded (STP) LAN cables. No-load bar required. Supports performance standards: ANSI/TIA 568.2-D for Cat5e; ISO/IEC 11801 Class D; and applicable patch cord standards for Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e. All Simply45 Standard WE/SS RJ45 modular plugs use only 24ct gold plated 3-Prong pin design instead of a 2-Prong design as found on most other pass-through RJ45 modular plugs. A 3-Prong pin provides 3 points of contact with the copper wire conductor instead of 2. This improves electrical performance and signals integrity. The S45-1050 is ideal for most Cat5e STP (shielded twisted pair) solid 24 AWG LAN cables with a maximum cable diameter up to 1.05mm (0.041”). The S45-1050 supports wire diameters 0.95mm – 1.05mm (0.037” – 0.041”). The S45-1050 also works great with stranded shielded LAN cables such as used on patch cords/leads including 10G rated Cat6a S/FTP patch leads. The S45-1050 works with most 28-26 AWG-stranded shielded Cat6a, Cat6, and Cat5e stranded shielded LAN cables. The unique internal design of the S45-1050 Standard RJ45 modular plug allows the LAN cable to be inserted further into the RJ45 plug. This reduces the length of untwisted wires improving NEXT performance. The S45-1050 accommodates most Cat5e STP LAN cables. If your shielded LAN cable has a larger wire conductor OD than the typical Cat5e shielded STP, we recommend using our part S45-1150 shielded Standard WE/SS RJ45 modular plugs.
