Category 6 MT-Series Screened Keystone Jacks
The Signamax Category 6 MT-Series Screened Keystone Jacks have been designed to meet the need for today’s high-bandwidth applications. These connectors are slim in profile for the highest density applications and guarantee 100 meter four-connector channel performance in environments with elevated EMI levels.
Special design features allow these jacks to be terminated with a standard 110 single-position tool or with the Signamax four-pair tool. The contact design provides enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity allowing for easy connection to the telecommunication bonding and grounding systems.
