UGREEN Cat6 FTP RJ45 Modular Plugs 100-Pack – NW111

The UGREEN NW111 is a 100-piece pack of Cat6 FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) RJ45 modular plugs designed for terminating shielded Ethernet cables. These connectors enable custom network cable creation for precise length requirements in server rooms, classrooms, and office installations. Ideal for IT students learning network installation and businesses managing their own structured cabling infrastructure.

Key Features & Benefits

• FTP Shielded Design: Works specifically with foil-shielded Cat6 cables to maintain electromagnetic interference protection, ensuring stable network connections in electrically noisy environments like server rooms.
• 100-Piece Bulk Pack: Provides enough connectors for approximately 50 custom cables with spares for practice crimps and mistakes, reducing per-unit cost for large-scale deployments or training sessions.
• Cat6 Performance Certified: Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps and bandwidth up to 250 MHz when properly crimped, meeting professional networking standards.
• Three-Prong Contact Design: Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical connection and resist corrosion over time, reducing network dropouts in commercial installations.
• Transparent Housing: Clear plug body allows visual verification of wire order before crimping, helping students and technicians avoid wiring mistakes that cause connectivity issues.

Use Cases & Applications

Networking Lab Projects: Students in IT programs can create custom-length patch cables for rack installations and network topology experiments. The 100-pack provides sufficient quantity for entire class projects with extras for learning proper crimping techniques.

Office Network Installation: IT departments can terminate Cat6 cables to exact lengths needed between wall jacks and patch panels. Custom cables eliminate excess slack in cable management trays and maintain cleaner server room aesthetics.

Data Center Maintenance: Network technicians can repair damaged cable ends on-site instead of replacing entire cable runs. The UGREEN NW111 connectors work with shielded infrastructure cabling common in enterprise environments.

Point-of-Sale Systems: Businesses running shielded Cat6 cables near cash registers and payment terminals can create interference-resistant connections. The FTP design maintains signal integrity around electronic payment processors and fluorescent lighting.

Home Lab Setups: Tech enthusiasts building home servers or advanced networking labs can create professional-grade cables matched to their exact rack dimensions. The bulk pack supports multiple equipment upgrades without frequent reordering.

Cable Testing & Certification: Network installers can prepare test cables for verifying installation quality. Having multiple connectors available allows quick remakes if initial crimps fail certification testing.

Important Requirements: These connectors require a crimping tool compatible with RJ45 plugs (not included). For best results, use with Cat6-rated shielded (FTP or STP) Ethernet cable only—unshielded cables will not properly connect to the shielding mechanism. A cable stripper and wire arrangement tool significantly improve termination success rates, especially for beginners. The transparent housing works with both T568A and T568B wiring standards—verify which standard your installation requires before crimping. These plugs are designed for solid or stranded cable; however, ensure your crimping tool matches your cable type for optimal contact.
