The Molex PowerCat 6A MOD-Clip DataGate shielded Jack is a key component of the PowerCat 6A shielded end-to-end solution.
The PowerCat 6A DataGate jack offers superior alien crosstalk suppression, excellent insertion loss, and provides enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection by utilizing robust die cast zinc alloy connector body housing. This shielded connector also features a unique spring loaded shutter that not only protects it from dust and contaminates, but the ingenious spring-loaded design also ejects improperly seated patch cords. The shielded connector is dual color coded for either 568A or 568B wiring schedules. The Molex C6A DataGate RJ45 360 ° shielded jack accommodates flexible cable routing by allowing 90 ° or 180 ° cable entry.
The PowerCat 6A DataGate shielded Jack was specifically designed for high-speed data transmission. The DataGate PowerCat 6A shielded Jack is also backwards compatible with shielded C6 and C5e systems.
Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6A Shielded products be used in an end-to-end system to maximize cabling performance. The PowerCat 6A shielded system is compliant with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D-2018 and ISO 11801:2017 for the support of 10GBASE-T.
