What is a cat.6a stp 5 angle field termination plug?

Cat.6A STP 5 Angle Field Termination Plug

1. Core Design Purpose
Space Optimization: Features a 45° angled body with 5-position adjustability (±30° vertical, ±15° horizontal) to route cables in tight spaces (e.g., server racks, control cabinets).
Triple EMI Shielding: Combines:
Individual pair foil shields
Overall braided copper screen
Zinc alloy housing Blocks interference from motors/VFDs in industrial settings.

2. Structural Innovations
Articulating Strain Relief:
Pivoting collar absorbs vibration/flex stress (e.g., robotic arms, AGVs).
Environmental Hardening:
IP68-rated seals (silicone gaskets + threaded lock) resist water/dust ingress.
High-Duty Contacts:
50µ" gold-plated pins withstand 100,000+ mating cycles and 90W PoE++ without arcing.

3. Termination Workflow
Shield Prep:
Fold overall braid over cable jacket; clamp under metal ferrule.
Trim pair foils to expose 3mm; terminate to grounding tabs.
Wire Handling:
Maintain < 8mm untwist; insert into keyed IDC slots (T568B standard).
Angle Lock:
Set orientation; torque collar to 0.6 N·m for seal compression.

4. Key Applications
Robotics: Cable management in articulated arms (ISO 9409 compatibility).
Mobile Machinery: Vibration-heavy deployments (trains, forklift chargers).
Harsh Environments: Food processing (washdown-rated), chemical plants.

5. Advantages vs. Straight Plugs

6. Critical Installation Rules
Shield Bonding: Verify ≤0.1Ω resistance between plug shell and cable screen.
Bend Radius: Maintain ≥4× cable diameter after angle adjustment.
Tool Requirement: Use low-profile punch-down tool for angled access.

7. Failure Indicators
PoE Resets: Poor pin contact or shield grounding failure.
Speed Drops: Untwisted pairs >10mm or EMI leakage.
Overheating: Overloaded pins (exceeding 90W PoE++).

8. Limitations
Cable Compatibility: Requires Cat.6A STP (S/FTP or F/UTP).
Port Depth: May not fit shallow sockets (verify device specs).
Cost: 2–3× premium over standard plugs.
