The Telegärtner J00026A4003 is a shielded RJ45 connector of category Cat.6A, designed as a male modular plug in 8P8C format. It is specifically designed for field termination of twisted-pair cables and is suitable for use in structured cabling systems, particularly in indoor environments. The construction from zinc die-cast ensures high mechanical stability and durability. The 4x90° cable entry allows flexible mounting from all four directions, making the connector easy to install even in tight or complex cabling situations. The integrated 3-stage cable strain relief securely holds cables with an outer diameter of 5.0 to 10.0 mm, preventing stress on the connection. A 4-chamber wire manager supports precise and orderly cabling according to T568B wiring, enhancing data transmission reliability. The pierce contacts ensure a reliable electrical connection, even under high demands on signal integrity. The connector is compatible with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), enabling power delivery to network devices such as IP cameras or access points via the network cable. The IP20 protection rating safeguards against contact with conductive objects and solid foreign bodies, making it suitable for indoor use. The temperature resistance from -40 °C to 85 °C makes it suitable for demanding environments. A pre-installed protective cap protects the contacts from contamination and mechanical damage during transport or storage.

Applications
This connector is intended for use in structured cabling systems in offices, server rooms, industrial facilities, and other indoor areas. It is suitable for connecting network devices that support PoE+ and is particularly ideal for applications requiring flexible mounting and high mechanical robustness. Support for round cables and compatibility with solid and stranded conductors in cross-sections AWG 26/1–24/1 and AWG 27/7–24/7 expands its application possibilities.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The 4x90° cable entry allows mounting from any direction, facilitating installation in tight or inaccessible areas. The 3-stage cable strain relief ensures secure cable fixation and prevents pulling forces that could cause connection faults. The 4-chamber wire manager supports correct wire assignment according to T568B, increasing connection reliability. The pierce contacts guarantee a stable electrical connection, even at high frequencies and data rates typical for Cat.6A connections. The pre-installed protective cap protects the contacts from contamination and mechanical damage.

Technology Explained Simply
The connector is shielded, reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improving signal quality. Category Cat.6A enables data transmission rates up to 10 Gbit/s over distances of up to 100 meters, making it suitable for modern networking applications. PoE+ support (IEEE 802.3at) allows power delivery to devices via the network cable, eliminating the need for additional power supplies. The IP20 protection rating means the connector is protected against contact with conductive objects and solid foreign bodies, but not against water or dust—thus, it is exclusively intended for indoor use.

Compatibility and Accessories
The connector is designed for round cables and supports both solid and stranded conductors within the specified cross-sections. It is not suitable for flat cables. Compatible accessories include a replacement wire manager in MFP8 format, which can be used for field termination of RJ45 connectors. This wire manager enables precise and orderly cabling according to T568B wiring.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed via field termination: the cable is inserted into the connector, the wires are positioned in the wire manager, and the connector is crimped using a special tool (e.g., crimp tool). The 4x90° cable entry allows flexible mounting from all four directions, facilitating installation in tight or inaccessible areas. The 3-stage cable strain relief ensures secure cable fixation and prevents pulling forces.

Operational Advantages
The connector offers high mechanical stability and durability due to its zinc die-cast housing. The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal quality. PoE+ support enables power delivery to network devices via the network cable, eliminating the need for additional power supplies. The flexible mounting via the 4x90° cable entry and secure cable fixation via the 3-stage strain relief enhance connection reliability. The pre-installed protective cap protects the contacts from contamination and mechanical damage during transport or storage.
