The Lyra is barpa's field-termination RJ45 plug for Cat.6A cable. It terminates without tools, supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and has a compact body for tight spaces.

The conductors go through an aligner and are trimmed, the aligner sits in the plug and the plug closes with a click; a cable tie in the pack secures the cable. It can be re-terminated several times. The UTP version has a translucent grey polycarbonate body and takes cable up to 7.2 mm. The STP version has a die-cast zinc alloy shielded body and takes 5.0-9.0 mm cable. Both come with a protective cap and are sold singly.

Key features

  • Category 6A to ISO/IEC 11801, 10 Gigabit Ethernet
  • Toolless field termination, re-terminable
  • For 23-24 AWG cable, solid or stranded conductors
  • Phosphor bronze contacts with 50 µ" gold plating, 1000 or more insertions
  • IP50 rated
  • UTP version for cable up to 7.2 mm, -20 to +60 °C
  • STP version with die-cast zinc alloy body, cable 5.0-9.0 mm, -40 to +70 °C

In the box

  • 1 x Lyra RJ45 plug
  • Protective cap
  • Cable tie
