Single Piece Design. The S45-1050 is a single piece fully shielded with internal ground Standard /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.3 Prong Pin Design with 50µ of True 24ct Gold Plating. All Simply45 Standard /SS RJ45 modular plugs use only 50µ 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. A 3-prong pin also holds stronger onto the wire conductors. To learn more about why only use 3-Prong pins and 50µ 24ct gold plated contacts.Solid and Stranded LAN Cables. The S45-1050 is ideal for most Cat5e STP (shielded twisted pair) solid 24 AWG LAN cables with 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. For larger shielded STP wire conductor sizes or larger LAN cable OD found on Cat6 solid STP and Shielded 10G solid LAN cables.Improved Crosstalk Performance. 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 shielded LAN cable has larger wire conductor OD than the typical Cat5e shielded STP, recommend using part S45-1150 shielded Standard /SS RJ45 modular plugs.
