METZ CONNECT E-DAT Module 3 Port UP0 Cat.6A RJ45 shielded field-terminable connector

The METZ CONNECT E-DAT Modul 3 Port UP0 Cat.6A is a high-performance, shielded RJ45 connector designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. This field-terminable module supports Category 6A (Class EA) performance, ensuring bandwidth up to 500 MHz and full compatibility with PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt). Its robust zinc die-cast housing with nickel plating provides excellent durability and EMI protection, making it ideal for industrial and commercial installations.

Advantages

Tool-free termination simplifies installation and reduces labor time. The connector is reusable up to 5 times, lowering total cost of ownership. Shielded design minimizes crosstalk and interference, ensuring signal integrity over long distances. Wide cable diameter compatibility (4.5 mm to 9.0 mm) and support for both solid and stranded conductors (AWG 22-24) offer flexibility for various cabling types.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in data centers and server rooms
• Industrial Ethernet networks requiring high reliability
• PoE applications including IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT devices
• Installations where space is limited, thanks to compact 3-port module design
