Signamax™ MT-Series Keystone jacks feature a slim profile housing ideal for high-density snap-in patch panels and faceplates. These keystone jacks are available in Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a styles with 9 available colors to choose from, offering network installers maximum performance and a greater range of flexibility when designing or upgrading their current networking infrastructures. |
- Each keystone is individually rated to withstand up to 750 plug insertions, to offer the highest level of reliability and system stability for fast-paced network environments
- Specially engineered connector contacts provide enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity, while protecting against damage caused by the insertion of 4- or 6-position plugs
- Jacks can easily be terminated using any standard 110 single-position punch down tool, or with Signamax's Four Pair Termination Tool, which simultaneously terminates all eight conductors while trimming off the excess wire to save the installer on both time and labor
- Keystone jacks are available in 9 different colors, to match preexisting hardware or create a unique color-coding system for easier installation of patch cables and maintenance
- Each module is clearly labeled with the category performance above the jack, to avoid any confusion or mix-up during installation
- UL 94V-0 fire rated
- FCC rated
- IEC and EN compliant
- Exceeds ANSI/TIA/EIA specifications
- RoHS compliant
