OVERVIEW
Category 6 EC-Series Unscreened Keystone Jacks have been designed to meet the need for today’s high-bandwidth applications. Category 6 connectors are slim in profile for the highest density applications, and are engineered to exceed all ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 category 6 requirements.
Jacks support both T568A and T568B wiring schemes using an easy-to-read color-code wiring label. The connector contact design provides enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity, protects against damage caused by insertion of 4- or 6-position plugs and is rated for a minimum of 750 plug insertions providing for the highest level of reliability. Rear 110-type contacts placed at 90 degrees to the module plane are designed to provide improved conductor retention and ease of termination. Special design features allow jack to be terminated with a standard 110 single-position tool or with the Signamax four-pair tool.
