Category 6A keystone feed-thru couplers can be used as a second piece of connecting hardware in a cross-connect when a cross-connection is needed for active equipment connection to the cabling, and as a consolidation point in the open office environment. Feed-thru couplers support TIA-568-C.2 channel transmission performance and provide a sound platform for supporting today’s network technologies including Gigabit Ethernet. These high-density feed-thru couplers are compatible with Signamax high- and standard-density snap-in patch panels providing flexibility in field installation.
