RJ45 CAT 6 (Metallic) Connector

KSH 4500 EXCL OF VAT

1000 PCS

Features

1. Connector Type:
   • The RJ45 connector is the standard for Ethernet cables, and the CAT 6 version supports higher speeds and bandwidth compared to CAT 5 connectors.
   • The metallic housing offers added strength, protection, and shielding, making it ideal for environments with higher electromagnetic interference or where extra durability is needed.
2. Compatibility:
   • Designed for use with Category 6 cables, the RJ45 CAT 6 (Metallic) connector supports data speeds up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 55 meters (for 10 Gbps speed) and up to 100 meters for 1 Gbps Ethernet connections.
   • It is backward compatible with CAT 5e and CAT 5 cables, but for optimal performance, it’s recommended to use it with CAT 6 cables.
3. Construction:
   • Metal Housing: The metallic housing provides extra shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring the integrity of the data transmitted through the cable.
   • Eight Pins: The eight internal pins are designed to ensure proper alignment with the eight internal wires in the CAT 6 cable, supporting high-speed data transmission.
   • Gold-Plated Contacts: Gold-plated contacts provide a clean, corrosion-resistant connection, ensuring a long-lasting and stable signal.
4. Performance:
   • The metallic housing enhances signal integrity, ensuring that data can be transmitted at high speeds without degradation due to external interference.
   • The connector is designed to handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and data-intensive tasks.
   • It also reduces the risk of crosstalk, which can interfere with data transfer speeds 

     Installation:

     • To install, strip the CAT 6 cable, align the wires according to either the T568A or T568B wiring standard, and secure them into the RJ45 metallic connector using a crimping tool.
     • The metallic housing is more durable than plastic connectors, making it easier to handle in demanding environments where robustness is essential.

RJ45 Connector Splitter/Double

KSH 800 EXCL OF VAT

FEATURES:

1. Dual Connection:
   • This RJ45 splitter allows two devices to be connected to one Ethernet port. It splits the signal from a single Ethernet cable into two, enabling dual connections through one port.
2. Ease of Use:
   • The RJ45 splitter is simple to use, requiring no additional configuration or software. It’s a plug-and-play solution that allows two devices to share a single network connection.
   • Typically, one end of the splitter connects to the network port (like a router or switch), and the two outgoing ends connect to two Ethernet devices (like computers, printers, or gaming consoles).
3. Standard Compatibility:
   • Compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a cables, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for home or office networks.
   • Works with standard RJ45 connectors and is often used for basic Ethernet networking.
4. Ideal for Limited Ports:
   • Useful in situations where there are a limited number of Ethernet ports on a device, such as a router or switch, but you need to connect multiple devices.
   • A convenient way to add more wired connections without needing to upgrade hardware or add more ports.
5. No Power Requirements:
   • RJ45 splitters do not require any additional power source to operate. They rely on the electrical signal from the Ethernet port to split and distribute the network connection.
6. Signal Quality Considerations:
   • The splitter divides the signal from one Ethernet cable into two, which may result in a slight reduction in signal strength or speed for each device connected. However, for most basic use cases, this reduction is minimal and may not significantly affect performance, especially for low-bandwidth applications.
7. Limitations:
   • Not a true network switch: Unlike a network switch, which intelligently manages data traffic between multiple devices, an RJ45 splitter simply divides the signal. Therefore, it’s not suitable for high-bandwidth or simultaneous heavy usage on both connections.
   • Splitters typically support only one-way data transmission (i.e., one device can send data at a time, but the other device won’t be able to send or receive data simultaneously)
