Cat6/6A screened couplers

I need some RJ45 couplers that work with screened Cat6/6A and provide full connection of the screen.

So many claim to be compatible but when tested, the screen connection either fails or is not present.

Any suggestion on ones that definitley do

Any good...?

Have you actually tried them? I have tried several similar ones and the sceen are not connected - they all claimed it, but none delivered.

Nope sorry. All UTP here.

The drawing does says the shield is connected through ->

The next one in the catalogue (link below) is full Cat6A shielded version...the previous one I linked was Cat6 only FWIW:

I've used some of these from Kenable (they are also on Amazon) and the screen connected through according to the tester.

Thanks, it is the personal experience I need. Will add some to my next order to Kenable.

Did you get anywhere with the screened couplers @MHC ?

I did, and just testing them out for longevity and there is certainly continuity of the screen. @kenneth suggested the Kenable sockets, and I found they do the Keystone seperately:

Need to remove the keystone lock at some time.

Nice! 👌
