Cat7 Shielded RJ45 Field Termination Connector – Tool-Free STP Plug for 10GbE SFTP SSTP Cable (Uganda)
Cat7 Shielded RJ45 Field Termination Connector — Tool-Free STP Plug for 10GbE SFTP / SSTP Cable
High-speed Cat7 and SSTP cable demands a connector that matches its shielding integrity. Traditional crimp plugs for shielded cable require specialist tools, precise strip lengths, and exact foil management — a single mis-termination can collapse the entire shielding system and introduce interference on your 10GbE link.
The Cat7 Shielded RJ45 Field Termination Connector eliminates that risk. Its tool-free IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) body uses a colour-coded wiring guide and a simple push-close mechanism to terminate Cat7 SFTP and SSTP cable cleanly and consistently — no crimping tool, no foil damage, no specialist training required.
At UGX 11,000 per unit, this is the right connector for 10GbE data centre patch runs, ISP distribution rooms terminating into a MikroTik CRS310 2.5G/10G Cloud Router Switch, or any high-density structured cabling project where shielding integrity is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- Tool-free IDC termination — colour-coded wiring guide and push-close body; no crimping tool or punch-down block required
- Full shielding continuity — metal body bonds to the cable foil and braid shield, maintaining Cat7 shielding integrity end-to-end
- Re-terminable — open, re-seat, and close again if wiring needs correction; not a single-use crimp
- Colour-coded wiring insert — T568A and T568B guides moulded into the body for fast, error-free pair alignment
- Supports 10GbE at 600 MHz — Cat7 rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over runs up to 100 metres
- Cable gland with strain relief — protects the termination from pull-out and mechanical stress

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this connector different from a standard Cat6 crimp plug?
This is a Cat7-rated shielded field termination connector with a tool-free IDC mechanism, colour-coded wiring guide, and full metal body that bonds to the cable shield. A standard Cat6 crimp plug is unshielded, requires a crimping tool, and is single-use. For Cat6 UTP terminations, see our Cat6 RJ45 Pass-Through Gold-Plated Connector Plugs.
Do I need a crimping tool to use this connector?
No. This connector uses a tool-free IDC termination body. Insert the stripped cable conductors into the colour-coded slots and close the housing — no crimping tool required. If you need a crimping tool for Cat5e or Cat6 UTP jobs, see our RJ45 Ratcheted Crimping Tool.
Is this connector suitable for 10GbE data centre and ISP use?
Yes. Cat7 SFTP and SSTP cable with this connector supports 10 Gbps at 600 MHz over runs up to 100 metres. It is well suited for ISP distribution rooms connecting into high-throughput switches such as the MikroTik CRS310 2.5G/10G Cloud Router Switch.
Can I re-use this connector if I make a wiring mistake?
Yes. Unlike traditional crimp plugs which are single-use, this field termination connector can be opened, the conductors re-seated, and the housing closed again. This is a major advantage in the field where re-cutting and re-terminating wastes time and cable.
Do you stock outdoor waterproof RJ45 connectors for external runs?
Yes. For outdoor enclosure and mast installations, see our M21 CAT6 IP68 Waterproof RJ45 Network Connector, which provides a fully sealed outdoor-to-indoor Ethernet pass-through rated for continuous water immersion.
What ISP billing system do you recommend for Uganda?
We recommend a purpose-built ISP billing platform supporting PPPoE, hotspot, and mobile money (M-Pesa, Airtel Money) integration for East African operators. View the ISP Billing System for Uganda here.
