Junction Box Category 6A
PLANET PL-JBIL6A is a Category 6A junction box for direct cable-to-cable connection using punch-down IDC termination. It is intended to join, repair or extend two four-pair balanced copper cables without adding an RJ45 plug-to-jack interface. The supplied product image shows a shielded metal enclosure and PCB-based feed-through construction.
The supplied source specifies Category 6A (or lower) cable support, dual-type IDC punch-down terminals, cable-tie retention, double-sided tape or screw mounting, and PCB construction for reliability. Category 6A / 500MHz performance is presented as the intended system performance and depends on correct termination and the complete installed channel.
