Overview

The Panduit KJS6X88TC Cat 6A shielded RJ45 keystone jack module is engineered for high-speed 10Gbps data transmission in demanding industrial and enterprise environments. This shielded jack module terminates 4-pair, 22-24 AWG shielded twisted pair cable using a forward motion termination method to optimize electrical performance. The die-cast zinc alloy housing provides 360° EMI/RFI shielding and robust physical protection against electromagnetic interference and physical damage, making it ideal for PoE+ applications and environments with high electromagnetic noise. Key features include tool-less installation capability, dual 568A/B color coding for flexible wiring configurations, and compatibility with Molex PowerCat 6A shielded patch panels and work area outlets. The patented IDC V-shaped contacts flex without fatiguing during termination, ensuring consistent electrical contact and long-term reliability. The spring-loaded shutter prevents dust ingress, while the rear metal cable retention cap enhances alien crosstalk suppression. This Cat 6A jack complies with ISO/IEC 11801:2017 and TIA-568.2-D:2018 Augmented Category 6A channel and permanent link requirements, delivering verified transmission performance for high-density installations. It supports both solid and stranded cables (AWG 22-24) and is backwards compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5e systems. The compact design allows integration into standard keystone outlets and high-density patch panels, including 1U 48-port configurations. Ideal for industrial automation, data centers, smart buildings, and PoE-powered devices, the KJS6X88TC ensures reliable 10Gbps connectivity with enhanced EMI protection. The silver finish provides visual identification in cable management systems and matches common infrastructure aesthetics.
