CAT.3 UTP Keystone Jack
Part Number:
PL-KE3UJ
Categories: Copper Cable System, Keystone Jack
- Category 3 unshielded 90° keystone jack for 1 to 16 MHz Class C voice and low-speed data cabling applications.
- 8-position modular interface populated with four contacts; the approved pin assignment governs application compatibility.
- Dual IDC termination accepts 110 or Krone-style impact tools when permitted by the released installation instruction.
- Accepts 22-26 AWG solid copper conductors; CCA and CCS conductors are excluded. Stranded conductors require separate qualification.
- Compact keystone form factor for compatible unloaded faceplates and patch panels; final fit is controlled by the released dimensional drawing.
- High-impact polycarbonate housing with UL 94 V-0 material rating for the released resin grade.
- Modular mating contacts use 50 microinch gold over nickel; IDC contacts use the released nickel-plated phosphor-bronze construction.
- Minimum 750 modular mating cycles; Category 3 transmission performance shall be supported by a released component report through 16 MHz.
