TUK Cat6 / Cat6A Angled Shutterless Keystone Socket - Black

The TUK Cat6 / Cat6A Angled Shutterless Keystone Socket is a high-performance RJ45 connectivity solution engineered for modern, high-speed network installations. This 8P8C keystone socket offers a reliable and tool-less termination method, making it an essential component for upgrading or installing structured cabling systems to Cat6 or Cat6A standards. Its compact and innovative design ensures seamless integration into a variety of network environments, from office workstations to data centres.

Supplied with a 6C style angled shutterless adaptor, this socket is specifically designed for high-density applications where space is at a premium. The angled port orientation, at 45 degrees, allows for superior cable management by reducing bend radius and minimising strain on patch leads, which helps maintain signal integrity. This feature is particularly beneficial in densely populated patch panels and wall plates, facilitating easier access and a neater installation.

Constructed for durability and performance, the socket's housing is made from UL94V-0 rated polycarbonate, offering excellent flame retardancy and mechanical strength. The internal contacts are crafted from nickel-plated phosphor bronze, ensuring a reliable, gas-tight connection with low insertion loss and high corrosion resistance. This UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) design is optimised for rapid, punch-down termination, significantly speeding up installation time without the need for specialised tools.

In terms of performance, this keystone jack is fully compliant with the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard at the component level, guaranteeing that it meets the stringent requirements for Cat6A bandwidth and crosstalk performance. It is also compliant with IEEE 802.3at specifications, making it fully suitable for Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) applications, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data and power to devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IP
