Black Box CAT5e Shielded Modular Plug (100-Pack)

The Black Box FMTP5ES-100PAK is a modular plug that meets CAT5e performance requirements and includes shielding that protects every signal from electromagnetic interference. Supplied in a pack of 100, it gives installers an efficient way to build, repair, or expand Ethernet runs without running out of connectors midway through a project.

Each plug carries eight conductors, so it terminates twisted pair cables for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX networks with ease. The shielding keeps crosstalk and external noise to a minimum, a benefit that becomes clear in offices filled with wireless gear, manufacturing areas with heavy machinery, or AV racks packed with power supplies.

Cable compatibility is broad. The plug accepts solid or stranded wire in 24 or 26 AWG and fits flat, oval, or round jackets up to 0.322 inches in diameter. That flexibility lets you stock one connector for patch cords, in-wall runs, or custom-length cables.

Installation stays straightforward because the FMTP5ES-100PAK works with any standard two-position termination tool. Whether you are an IT technician outfitting an entire floor, an AV integrator building shielded patch leads, or a hobbyist improving a home network, you can count on a quick, repeatable process.

The generous 100-piece count keeps costs predictable and reduces downtime by ensuring a spare plug is always within reach.
