In which cases is shielded cat.6 chosen rather than unshielded?

The shielded version is chosen when there are powerful sources of interference near the cable runs or when regulators require protection of data transmission channels.

Is the shielded cat.6 connector compatible with unshielded equipment?

The connector is physically compatible, however the shielding effect is realized only when using shielded equipment with correct grounding at both ends.

Is special equipment needed for crimping shielded cat.6 connectors?

A crimper designed for shielded cat.6 connectors is recommended — it correctly fixes both the contact pins and the shield part.

Pixietech RJ-45s cat.6 connector, shielded

The shielded Pixietech RJ-45s cat.6 connector is a connector for terminating shielded Category 6 cables in conditions where both high data transmission speed and protection from electromagnetic interference are required simultaneously. The metal housing of the connector ensures shielding continuity along the entire run, while compliance with the cat.6 standard guarantees operation of gigabit and future-proof applications. It is the optimal solution for modern facilities with increased interference-immunity requirements.
