Overview

OVERVIEW

Signamax category 6 screened toolless keystone jack is designed to exceed TIA-568-C.2 performance specifications. Screened key-stone jacks with an overall overlap solid shielding design are capable to guarantee 100-meter four-connector channel performance in environments with elevated EMI levels.

Category 6 screened toolless keystone jack is compatible with Signamax keystone faceplates (1-, 2-, and 4-port) and snap-in patch panels (24-port 1-RMS and 48-port 2-RMS) providing flexibility in field installation and easy connection to the telecommunications bonding and grounding system.

Key Features

KEY FEATURES
