• Compact Mini-Com footprint with a shielded RJ-45 modular jack, engineered to maximize port density without sacrificing performance. The shielded housing provides a grounded enclosure around each jack, helping reduce electromagnetic interference and external noise from adjacent cables or equipment. This is especially valuable in data centers, open-plan offices, and high-traffic backbone connections where cable runs are tightly packed. The result is improved signal integrity and consistently reliable connectivity for critical applications, from voice and data to video and IoT endpoints. The Mini-Com design simplifies cable management, enabling technicians to terminate and organize runs quickly, with fewer steps than traditional bulkier modular solutions. The Cat6 shielded module is compatible with standard Cat6 cables featuring shielded or foil shielding, allowing your network to support higher-performance standards while maintaining straightforward field installation.
• Superior performance and compliance: This shielded Cat6 Mini-Com module is engineered to meet Cat6 performance requirements, delivering clean, high-bandwidth transmissions and reduced susceptibility to external interference. By employing shielded jack bodies and proper grounding, it helps ensure reliable operation across environments with EMI, electrical noise, or adjacent high-speed equipment. When installed with shielded patch panels and properly grounded enclosures, this module supports the full capabilities of Cat6 cabling, including solid performance for bandwidth-intensive applications and robust operation for a range of network services. The result is a resilient infrastructure that remains dependable as data demands grow and devices proliferate in enterprise and edge deployments.
• Ease of integration and installation: The Mini-Com Mini-Jack Cat6 Shielded Module is designed for seamless integration with Panduit’s modular faceplates, patch panels, and cable-management systems. It features a straightforward termination approach and a durable, corrosion-resistant construction. With compatible tooling and a standard RJ-45 interface, installers can route and terminate cables efficiently, minimize miswiring risk, and maintain organized, scalable networks. The shielded module supports reliable field termination for shielded Cat6 solutions, while its compact size helps keep cable runs neat, enabling faster provisioning, easier maintenance, and room for future expansion in busy data centers or office environments.
• Durability, materials, and standards alignment: Panduit’s Mini-Com shielded modules are built to withstand daily wear in network environments, with rugged housings and high-quality contacts designed for repeated plug-in cycles. They are engineered to align with industry standards such as Cat6 specifications, ensuring predictable performance across supported cables and components. When used in conjunction with Panduit’s shielded patch panels, distribution frames, and grounding components, these modules contribute to a consistent, compliant copper network that supports reliable data transmission, voice, and video services. For professionals, this translates to confidence, reduced troubleshooting time, and easier upgrades as technology evolves.
• Versatile applications and value: Ideal for data centers, enterprise offices, classrooms, labs, and other spaces requiring reliable shielded copper connectivity, the Mini-Com Shielded Cat6 module helps create tidy, scalable networks with improved EMI management. Its shielded design is suited to environments where PoE or dense cabling is present, helping to preserve signal integrity and reduce interference. Because the module integrates with Panduit’s broader Mini-Com ecosystem, it supports standardized labeling, consistent color-coding, and rapid deployment across multiple rooms or floors. Operators can expect easier inventory control, faster fault isolation, and streamlined maintenance as networks evolve to meet growing bandwidth demands and security requirements.

How to install PANDUIT Mini-Com Mini-Jack Cat.6 Shielded Module

• Plan your installation by identifying the correct Mini-Com faceplate or patch panel position for the shielded Cat6 module, ensuring you have a grounded enclosure and appropriate shielded cabling (foil- or braid-shielded as required).
• Prepare the shielded Cat6 cable: trim the outer jacket to the required length, untwist the necessary pairs only as far as required by the module, and arrange the conductors according to the module’s pinout. Keep twists close to the termination to preserve pair integrity.
• Terminate the conductors into the module’s contacts following the color-coded sequence specified by the Mini-Com kit, being careful not to damage shielding or bend conductors excessively.
• Connect and ground the shield drain wire (where applicable) to the shield path in the panel or enclosure, ensuring a secure connection to maintain EMI performance. Verify there are no loose strands or stray conductors that could cause shorts or crosstalk.
• Snap the assembled module into the selected Mini-Com faceplate or patch panel until it clicks into place, then test the terminated channel with a certification tool or network tester to confirm proper connectivity and Cat6 performance. Re-check grounding continuity and re-label the port for future reference.
