Briticom™ Cat8 Keystone Jack (KSJ) come as compact designed jacks offering 360° screening. The tool-free mounting connection allows a very friendly and very easy-quick installation for professionals. In connection with a modular patch panel, the Cat 8 keystone modules are perfect for future-oriented, structured building cabling. The superior performance of these jacks supports transmission speeds of up to 25 GBit/s or 40 GBit/s in connection with Cat 8 installation cables. They can be used with Cat 8 Patch Panels and various Cat 8 Cables.
- The Cat. 8.1 keystone module with 360° screening supports transmission speeds of up to 25 GBit/s or 40 GBit/s in connection with Cat 8 installation cables
- With up to 2000 MHz, the keystone jack is suitable, for example, for ToR and MoR cabling in data centres – line lengths of 24m in the permanent link and 30m in channel link support 180 degrees fit for loading a full STP/UTP 24/48 port patch panel
- In connection with a modular patch panel, the Cat 8 keystone modules are perfect for future-oriented, structured building cabling
- The mounting connection of the keystone module of the Category 8 Class 1 makes the tool-free installation of the network cable (AWG 22-26) possible – cable fixation is done with a cable tie
- The keystone module has a jack for RJ45 plugs, which can handle a tensile load of 7.7 kg and more than 750 mating cycles in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801, IEC 60603-7-81
- Cable installation via LSA strips, colour coded according to ANSI/TIA-568.0-D Standard of 2017
- Tool-free mounting connection
- Suitable for patch panels and mounting outlets
