Ugreen UG- 50248 Cat 6 Shielded Crystal Head 100 Pack
The Ugreen UG-50248 represents a professional-grade solution for high-performance network installations. This 100-pack of Cat 6 shielded RJ45 connectors delivers reliable gigabit Ethernet connectivity for both residential and commercial applications.
Advanced Shielding Architecture
The UG-50248 features comprehensive electromagnetic interference protection through its fully shielded design. Each crystal head incorporates metal shielding that surrounds the connector body. This construction effectively blocks external electromagnetic noise from degrading signal quality.
Furthermore, the shielding provides crucial protection against crosstalk between adjacent cable pairs. The design maintains signal integrity across the full 250 MHz bandwidth specification of Category 6 cabling systems.
Three-Prong Contact Design
Ugreen engineered the UG-50248 with a three-prong contact configuration for each conductor position. This design triples the contact surface area compared to standard single-prong connectors. Consequently, the increased contact area ensures lower resistance and more stable electrical connections.
Additionally, the three-prong system provides redundancy in the connection pathway. Network signals maintain continuity even if one contact point experiences minor degradation over time.
Gold-Plated Terminal Contacts
The connector terminals feature 50-microinch gold plating for superior conductivity. Gold plating resists oxidation and corrosion significantly better than standard nickel or tin coatings. This corrosion resistance maintains connection quality in environments with temperature fluctuations and humidity exposure.
Moreover, the gold plating reduces contact resistance at the conductor interface. Lower resistance translates to improved signal transmission and reduced packet loss in demanding network applications.
Transparent Housing Construction
The UG-50248 utilizes transparent polycarbonate housing material. This clear construction allows visual verification of wire positioning before crimping. Network installers can confirm proper conductor alignment with the color-coded wiring standard without disassembling connections.
In addition, the transparent design simplifies troubleshooting during installation. Technicians can quickly identify wiring errors or incomplete conductor insertion without specialized testing equipment.
Professional Bulk Packaging
Ugreen packages the UG-50248 in a 100-piece quantity specifically for professional installers and IT departments. This bulk format reduces per-connector costs for large-scale network deployments. The quantity supports typical commercial installation projects without requiring multiple product orders.
Furthermore, the 100-pack minimizes packaging waste compared to smaller retail quantities. This consideration benefits both environmental sustainability and storage efficiency in professional workshop environments.
Wide Conductor Compatibility
These shielded crystal heads accommodate both solid and stranded copper conductors. The connector design accepts standard 23 AWG to 24 AWG wire gauges used in Cat 6 cabling systems. This versatility enables use with various cable types across different installation scenarios.
Additionally, the UG-50248 works with both standard Cat 6 and Cat 6A cables when operating within Cat 6 specifications. The connector maintains backward compatibility with Cat 5e infrastructure while supporting future network upgrades.
