METZ CONNECT 40G RJ45 veldstekker per 360 blauw stekker

The METZ CONNECT 40G RJ45 field plug pro 360 Blue Male Connector is a compact, field-installable RJ45 plug designed for high-speed networking applications. With a slim profile and durable housing, this blue male connector supports 40G data transmission requirements where space is limited and reliable performance is required. The plug is produced in Germany and supplied in packs of ten, suitable for technicians and installers working on data center and enterprise cabling projects.

Advantages

The field plug offers a compact design with precise mechanical dimensions—13.8 mm width, 49.8 mm depth and 16.5 mm height—allowing easy access in confined patchpanel and cabling environments. Its construction supports high-speed 40G connections while maintaining stable contact performance and repeatability. The blue colour provides clear visual identification for specific cable runs or network segments. Delivery in multi-piece packs streamlines bulk installation and reduces handling time on site.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to 40G in data centres
• Field termination of stranded or solid cables in enterprise networks
• Cabling projects requiring compact RJ45 connectors for patchpanels and outlets
• Site installations where component colour-coding improves organisation

How to use

Prepare the cable according to the applicable installation standard, strip the jacket and arrange conductors to match the target wiring scheme. Insert the conductors into the field plug contacts following the manufacturer’s mechanical guidance, then secure the assembled plug to the cable using the recommended termination method. After assembly, perform a visual inspection of contact seating and verify continuity and performance with appropriate network test equipment before placing the connector into service.

Recommendations

Use appropriate cable types and tools compatible with 40G installations, and carry out post-termination testing (continuity and return loss) to confirm link performance. Avoid excessive bending at the connector entry and follow local installation standards for grounding and cable management.
