High-Performance Cat 8 Keystone Jack for Reliable Networking

The Cat 8 Keystone Jack from Cable Matters is designed for those who demand the highest performance in their networking solutions. With a full metal jacket, this RJ45 shielded connector ensures superior shielding, making it ideal for Category 8 channel network switch and server connections. The robust die-cast housing mitigates alien crosstalk, providing a reliable connection for your network.

Supporting 22 to 24 AWG shielded wire with an outside diameter between 5.5 and 9.0mm, this Cat8 connector is engineered to deliver Cat 8 performance in an RJ45 keystone jack. It is compliant with 10GBASE-T, 25GBASE-T, and even 40GBASE-T channels up to 30 meters, ensuring that your network can handle high-speed data transfers with ease.

One of the standout features of this keystone jack is its full backwards compatibility with Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6A Ethernet networks. This means you can upgrade your network without needing to replace all your existing equipment. The 180-degree easy termination jack supports both impact tool-free and crimp tool termination for Cat 8 cables, making installation a breeze.

The innovative design includes a 180-degree wide-angle, hinged design with a removable cap, allowing for easy access and termination of bulky shielded cables. This feature is particularly useful for those working in tight spaces or with complex setups. The IDC modules can be wired for both T568A and T568B wiring, providing flexibility for various installation requirements.

For those looking for a professional installation, the superior construction combines a one-piece metal keystone with an integrated silencing cylinder to suppress EMI and NEXT electromagnetic noise and crosstalk. This ensures that your network remains stable and interference-free, even in demanding environments.

Included with the keystone jack are copper foil tape and cable ties, which help ensure a neat and organized installation. The snap-in design features a retaining clip that guarantees a secure connection, making it perfect for PoE plus compliant applications with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) networks.

Lastly, this keystone jack supports Cat8 auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with mixed network server speeds ranging from 1 Gig to 40 Gig. This feature makes it an excellent choice for future-proofing your network as technology continues to evolve.
