Tripp Lite Cat6a Class EA STP Field-Termination Plug, 568A/568B, TAA

The Tripp Lite N232-SHC6A-1 is a Cat6a Class EA shielded field-termination plug that lets installers finish runs on site without bringing along a crimping die or other specialized tools. Snap the plug onto solid or stranded cabling sized from 22 to 27 AWG, close the hinged cover, and the connection is ready. This straightforward process is handy in ceilings, plenum spaces, lab benches, or any spot where a pre-terminated patch cord or a wall plate does not make sense.

The plug supports Type 3 and Type 4 Power over Ethernet, delivering up to 100 watts to high-draw devices such as PoE lighting panels, PTZ cameras, and wireless access points. Because the housing is fully metal and grounded, it blocks EMI and RFI that can slow data or cause dropped packets in dense networking closets and data centers.

Installers who need to make changes later will appreciate that the plug can be re-terminated as many as twenty times. A body built from die-cast zinc protects the contacts from mechanical stress and day-to-day handling. Compliance with the Trade Agreements Act makes the plug suitable for federal projects, and Tripp Lite backs the product with a lifetime limited warranty for additional peace of mind.
