CAT.3 UTP Keystone Jack

Part Number: PL-KE3UJ Categories: ,
  • 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.
