Category 6 EC-Series Keystone Jack, T568A/B Wiring, Blue, 25-Pack SKU: KJ458EC25-C6-BU

 

The Signamax Category 6 EC-Series Unscreened Keystone Jacks have been designed to meet the need for today’s high-bandwidth applications. The 90o termination position eases tension from the connection at the jack and allows an installer to direct the cable straight back from the panel or faceplate and provides enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity.

The contact design protects against damage caused by insertion of 4 or 6 position plugs and is rated for a minimum of 750 plug insertions. Special design features allow these jacks to be terminated with a standard 110 single-position tool or with the Signamax four-pair tool providing for the highest level of system reliability.
