RJ-45 (CAT8)

The Ethernet Plug Test Adapter (model ETH-TPA-RJ45CAT8-P) is designed for engineers and developers who require precise and convenient access to high-speed Ethernet signals during product development, validation, and compliance testing. Supporting next-generation performance, this test adapter meets and exceeds the rigorous standards defined by ANSI/TIA-568.2-D for Category 8 structured cabling, as well as IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ for advanced power delivery applications.

Optimized for systems running 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T Ethernet protocols, this solution enables reliable test connections through its RJ-45 (8P8C) interface. It offers four times the bandwidth capability of legacy Category 6A solutions while retaining full backward compatibility, allowing it to be used seamlessly across mixed infrastructure setups without compromising functionality or signal integrity.

The internal design of the adapter adheres strictly to the EIA/TIA-568 standard in both electrical and physical aspects. Pin and pair assignments, as well as wire color coding, follow the T568A configuration, ensuring intuitive use and easy integration with test environments and existing cable assemblies.

This test fixture is ideal for validating signal performance, analyzing noise, measuring insertion loss, or assessing interoperability in high-speed networks. It supports stable, repeatable testing conditions across a variety of lab and field applications, offering a dependable interface between advanced Ethernet hardware and diagnostic equipment.

Whether you’re developing PoE++ systems, pushing the limits of copper-based Ethernet transmission, or simply verifying a robust network setup, this plug adapter provides a solid foundation for efficient and high-fidelity testing.
