Category 6 keystone screened 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 cou-plers meet requirements as defined in TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and provide a sound platform for supporting today's network technologies in-cluding Gigabit Ethernet. These high-density feed-thru couplers are compatible with all Signamax faceplates, surface mount multime-dia boxes and Signamax 24- and 48-port high density snap-in patch panels providing flexibility in field installation.
Applications - cross-connections, horizontal cabling consolidation points, horizontal cabling connection point in building automation cabling
Contact design provides enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity and protects against damage caused by insertion of 4- or 6-position plugs
Straight-thru - compatible with any wiring scheme up to 8 conductors
