AMP NETCONNECT XG Category 6A Shielded AMP-TWIST modular jacks meet or exceed channel specifications of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 Category 6A and ISO/IEC 11801:2002/Amd 1:2008 Class EA up to 500 MHz when used as a component in a properly installed AMP NETCONNECT XG F/UTP channel. The AMP NETCONNECT XG Category 6A F/UTP System complies with all of the performance requirements for current and proposed applications such as Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-Tx), 10/100BASE-Tx, token ring, 155 Mbps ATM, 100 Mbps TP-PMD, ISDN, analog and digital video, analog and digital voice (VoIP), and exceeds all requirements for IEEE 802.3an 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all parameters. AMP NETCONNECT XG Category 6A modular jacks are shielded, have a slim profile and are compatible with SL Series and standard faceplates. Universal wiring labels permit termination to either T568A or T568B wiring patterns. These modular jacks are available with integral dust covers and back (180°) or side (90°) cable entry. XG Category 6A shielded modular jacks include an integrated lacing fixture for use with the SL Series modular jack termination tool (1725150) for extremely fast terminations that are consistent and repeatable. The modular jacks contain integrated cutting blades used during termination to eliminate the need to manually trim conductors and to allow all four pairs of a four pair cable to be terminated at one time. XG Category 6A Shielded AMP-TWIST modular jacks feature a robust, die-cast metal body which creates an integral shield.
