Módulo keystone DIGITUS CAT 8.1 blindado, plano, RJ-45, montagem sem ferramentas – 24 unid.

The DIGITUS Keystone module CAT 8.1 shielded flat RJ-45 (pack of 24) is a tool-free keystone connector designed for high-speed Ethernet cabling in data centers and structured LAN environments. The flat RJ-45 design and shielded housing provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection while supporting Category 8.1 performance for 25/40GBase-T links. These modules are suitable for installation in keystone wall plates, patch panels and 19" 1U distribution panels where space-efficient, high-density termination is required.

Advantages

The shielded construction with 360° shield contacting and nickel-plated zinc die-cast housing ensures consistent EMI protection and mechanical robustness. Tool-free mounting and LSA-compatible termination (color-coded for T568A/B) speed up installation and reduce the need for additional tools. The module supports high-frequency performance up to 2000 MHz and 25/40GBase-T in permanent and channel links, while also supporting PoE standards including IEEE 802.3af/at/bt (PoE, PoE+, 4PPoE) in permanent link configurations.

Suitable for

• Top-of-Rack (ToR) and Middle-of-Row (MoR) cabling in data centers
• High-density 19" 1U patch panels and distribution panels
• Keystone wall plates and structured cabling installations in enterprise LANs
• Environments requiring EMI protection for high-speed links

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket to the recommended length and arrange the conductors according to the chosen T568A or T568B color code. Insert the conductors into the module termination fields and use the integrated LSA cutting clamp to secure and trim the wires without additional tools. Snap the keystone module into a compatible keystone wall plate or patch panel until it locks in place. For high-speed 25/40GBase-T permanent link applications, observe maximum supported link lengths and follow data center cabling practices for shielding continuity and grounding.

Recommendations

Ensure continuous shield contact by maintaining proper cable shielding termination and grounding. Use cable types and installers that comply with Category 8.1 installation guidelines and verify link performance with appropriate certification tools after installation. Avoid exceeding the specified permanent and channel link lengths for reliable 25/40GBase-T operation.
