Siemon Cat 6A Keystone Jack Module
Siemon Z‑MAX® Cat 6A Keystone Jack is a high-performance, 10 Gbps/class EA-rated module designed for speed, reliability, and ease of use. It supports 500 MHz bandwidth with UTP or F/UTP shielding, accommodates 22–26 AWG solid or stranded cables, and terminates in under 60 seconds using the Z‑TOOL and patented Zero‑Cross IDC alignment, ensuring consistent alien crosstalk isolation. The glass-reinforced nylon or die-cast zinc housing (UL94V‑0 rated) offers robust EMI shielding, strain relief, and optional dust door, while hybrid flat/angled design provides mounting versatility.
Compatible with flat/angled faceplates and high-density 48‑port/1U patch panels, it supports PoE up to 100 W and includes color-coded icons for easy identification . Backwards compatible with Cat 5e/6 and operating from –10 °C to 60 °C, it’s ETL/UL2043 certified for plenum use—making it a future-proof, installation-efficient solution for data centers, smart offices, and industrial environments.
