Category 5e Keystone Feed-Thru Coupler SKU: KRJ45/5S

Category 5e unscreened keystone feed-thru couplers can be used as a second piece of connecting hardware 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 meet component, permanent link and channel requirements as defined in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and provide a sound platform for supporting today’s network technologies. These high-density feed-thru couplers are compatible with Signamax high-density snap-in patch panels providing flexibility in field installation. They are also compatible with all Signamax faceplates and surface mount multimedia boxes.
