Simpler all over: MFP8 Cat.6A applications
-
Office/premise cabling and data centers
With the MFP8 Cat.6A, installers and network professionals now have access to an RJ45 plug which will enable them to respond with speed and flexibility, even at short notice, to any requirement, be it cabling for workstations, connections for equipment or backbone extensions.
Connections can be made with all standard cable types, even with transfer rates of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T), without requiring hours of preparation and without the need for special tools. It is particularly cost-effective for connections in data centers where every centimeter counts. Space problems due to surplus cable are consigned to the history books.
Thanks to its compact design and suitablility for multiport applications, the MFP8 Cat.6A can also be used where space is at an absolute premium.
-
Industrial cabling (IP20)
Whether used in industrial control cabinets or in distribution boxes in production, the MFP8 Cat.6A can also be relied upon in industry. The 360° shielding and full metal housing guarantee secure and reliable data transmission, including with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and even with outside electric interference. And the use of the full range of cable types with solid or stranded conductors from AWG24/1 to 22/1 and AWG27/7 to 22/7 make it a universal product fit for all purposes.
-
Cabling in the home
When it comes to home networks or cabling for the home-based office, adhering to a minimum footprint is normally a major requirement, and only very rarely is there an outlet just where one is needed. In order to be able to connect the PC, router or printer quickly, easily and cheaply, a plug is needed which can be fitted without special tools to the full range of cable types with solid or stranded wires.
The MFP8 Cat.6A also enables non-professionals to assemble and customise cables – as and where they are needed – and to establish efficient and reliable connections without spending a great deal of time and money.
Simpler all round: Fitting the MFP8 Cat.6A
-
Step 1: Connect cable
Remove cable jacket, move cable shielding backwards and prepare wires by untwisting pairs and inserting them in the wire manager. The integrated assembling aid protects the board and facilitates this process. The print is highly visible and is available in colour code T568A or T568B. Press wire manager together with a plier and cut off excess wires.
-
Step 2: Insert in plug housing
Remove assembling aid and insert board with wires connected in plug housing. The wire manager is designed so that it can only be inserted in the housing the right way up.
-
Step 3: Close plug
The cable relief is hinged to ensure 360° shielding and effective strain relief on the cable. The snap-in mechanism can be adjusted to tailor the amount of grip to the cable diameter in any given case. And the cap protects the plug contacts from dust and dirt.
MFP8 Cat.6A: For new freedom in structured cabling

Less fuss. More flexibility.
The MFP8 Cat.6A is the RJ45 plug for time-saving and efficient on-site assembly for all networks, from Voice right through to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It can be assembled on all standard types of cable in just 60 seconds – and no special tools are required. Whether in the office, data centers, in industry or in home networks – the MFP8 Cat.6A offers unprecedented flexibility and saves time and money on installation, repairs and maintenance.
MFP8 Cat.6A: The best bits of 60 years of experience all rolled into one plug
