OVERVIEW

Signamax category 6A screened keystone jacks are designed to meet 10 Gigabit IEEE 802.3an rev. 1.0 transmission requirements, and are guaranteed to meet or exceed TIA-568-C.2 performance specifications. Screened keystone jacks with an overall overlap solid shielding design support category 6A 100-meter channel performance.

Category 6A screened keystone jacks are compatible with Signamax keystone faceplates (1-, 2-, and 4-port) and snap-in patch pan-els (24-port 1-RMS and 48-port 2-RMS) providing flexibility in field installation and easy connection to the telecommunications bond-ing and grounding system.
