PowerCat 6A STP IDC to IDC Coupler

Available In: Global
Part Number: KSP-00005

The KSP 00005 is a compact Cat6A field termination coupler designed for cable extensions and transition points in enterprise and data center environments. It enables fast, high performance terminations while maintaining full Cat6A compliance. This solution provides reliable connectivity, simplifies installation, and helps reduce downtime during upgrades or reconfigurations.

Benefits

  • Category 6A performance supporting high-speed Ethernet applications
  • Field-terminable design for rapid deployment without specialised tooling
  • Robust metal housing (nickel-plated zinc alloy) for durability and shielding
  • Consolidation points in enterprise networks
  • Reactivation of pre-installed or unused cable runs which may need to be extended
  • IDC-to-IDC termination for superior signal integrity compared to RJ45 patching
  • Ultra-compact form factor (approx. 50mm length) for high-density installations
  • Cable extension and repair in structured cabling systems
  • Transition from external to internal twisted pair cable
  • RoHS compliant

Notes:
– For new installations of PoE Type 3 / Class 5 and above that wish to be eligible for the Molex 25 year Application Assurance Warranty, we require Category 6A cable to be used throughout.
– To confirm your PoE / RP3 cabling design is eligible for the Molex 25 year Application Assurance Warranty, your design must be verified and validated with the Molex PoE Calculator. Read more at https://www.molexces.com/poe-calculator
– Molex recommends that the PoE feature on an individual switch port is power disabled prior to unplugging the associated powered Device.
– Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6A products be used in a system to maximize cabling and PoE performance.
