Description

Experience faster, more reliable terminations with the Black Box EZ Shielded CAT6 plugs. This 25-pack of shielded RJ45 modular plugs is designed to simplify the process of terminating shielded Cat6 cabling, making professional-grade network installations easier, quicker, and more dependable. Engineered for efficient field work, these plugs help maintain signal integrity while delivering clean, consistent terminations across multiple runs. Built to meet the needs of installers, network engineers, and IT professionals, the EZ Shielded Plug provides a streamlined termination experience without compromising performance.

As networks grow and bandwidth requirements increase, reliable cabling terminations become critical. The EZ Shielded Plug is purpose-built for shielded Cat6 environments, delivering a secure connection that helps minimize crosstalk and interference. The plug’s design emphasizes straightforward alignment and conductors that pass through the nose, reducing mis-termination risk and ensuring repeatable results from one installation to the next. Whether you’re wiring a small office, a data center rack, or a multi-drop patch panel, this 25-pack provides a cost-effective, scalable solution that keeps projects on schedule and on budget.

  • Effortless nose-through wiring for accurate terminations The EZ plug design guides each conductor through the plug’s nose, simplifying the wire routing process and reducing the chance of misalignment. This feature speeds up termination while helping ensure a reliable connection that stands up to the rigors of daily network traffic. With each wire entering cleanly through the intended pathway, you can terminate with confidence and consistency, even under tight timelines or challenging job-site conditions.
  • Compatibility with FT1100A and FT1200A EZ RJ45 crimp tools For a seamless termination workflow, these plugs are designed to work with Black Box EZ RJ45 crimp tools, specifically the FT1100A or FT1200A models. The combination of EZ plugs and EZ crimp tools is built to deliver a smooth, stress-free crimping process, minimizing pushback and ensuring uniform seating of conductors. This compatibility helps technicians achieve repeatable, professional results across large batches and multiple cable runs.
  • Shielded Cat6 performance for minimized interference Crafted for shielded Cat6 cabling, the plugs deliver robust performance in environments where EMI and external interference can threaten data integrity. By maintaining a solid shielded connection, these plugs help protect the channel from noise and crosstalk, supporting stable 1 Gbps to higher-bandwidth applications that rely on clean signal transmission. The shielded design supports reliable performance in data centers, office networks, and industrial installations where shielding matters.
  • Bulk 25-pack for efficiency and cost-effectiveness The 25-pack enables installers to stock up for multiple terminations without frequent reordering. This size is ideal for large projects, recurring maintenance, or organizations that routinely deploy shielded Cat6 networks. Having a ready supply of EZ Shielded Plugs helps teams stay productive, reduce downtime, and keep project schedules aligned with expectations.
  • Durable construction built for professional use These plugs are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of everyday network work. The rugged housing and shielded design contribute to a robust termination that holds up through repeated deployments and testing. When you're wiring many runs, durability matters; these plugs are built to endure while delivering consistent, high-quality terminations across the fleet of cables you install.

How to install Black Box CAT6 EZ Shielded Plug

To achieve a clean, reliable termination with the EZ Shielded Plug, follow these essential steps. Prepare your materials, apply the appropriate cable preparation, then complete the termination with the recommended crimp tool:

  • Gather shielded Cat6 cable, the EZ RJ45 plug, and a compatible crimp tool (FT1100A or FT1200A).
  • Prepare the cable by stripping the jacket to expose the individual conductors while maintaining the shield’s integrity. Ensure that enough conductor length is exposed to pass cleanly through the plug’s nose and into the contacts.
  • Insert the cable into the plug, guiding each conductor through the nose so wires exit in the correct order and are fully seated. Verify that each conductor is aligned with its intended contact and that no copper is nicked or damaged.
  • Using the FT1100A or FT1200A EZ RJ45 crimp tool, complete the termination by crimping to secure the conductors within the contacts. Apply steady, even pressure to ensure a solid, uniform termination.
  • Inspect the finished plug for proper seating and alignment. If possible, test the terminated cable with a network tester to verify continuity, resistance, and shielding integrity. Repeat the process for additional terminations as needed, using the same care to maintain consistency across all connections.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What makes the EZ Shielded Plug easy to terminate? The nose-through wiring design guides conductors directly through the plug, reducing confusion and mis-termination risk while streamlining the process for faster, more reliable terminations.
  • Q: Which tools work with this plug? The EZ Shielded Plug is designed to pair with the FT1100A or FT1200A EZ RJ45 crimp tools, creating a cohesive termination workflow that minimizes installer effort and improves consistency across multiple terminations.
  • Q: How many plugs are in a pack? Each pack contains 25 plugs, providing a practical balance between bulk usage and inventory management for most projects.
  • Q: Are these plugs suitable for shielded Cat6 installations? Yes. They are specifically designed for shielded Cat6 cabling, helping to preserve signal integrity by maintaining shielding and reducing interference in challenging environments.
  • Q: Do I need any special training to use these plugs? While basic cable preparation and crimping skills are helpful, the design of the EZ Shielded Plug and compatibility with EZ crimp tools are intended to make termination approachable for professionals with standard Cat6 installation experience. Always follow manufacturer guidance and use proper safety practices when working with network cables.
