The PowerCat 6 Shielded DIN module is designed for compatibility with the 50 x 50mm DIN 49075 standard.
The product is a fully assembled unit featuring the Shielded DataGate 6 connector. The angled design reduces patch cord bend radius and features a protected labeling facility.
Individual ports may be color coded using a connector icon label, for site-specific network administration. The PowerCat 6 Shielded DIN module is available as a single or double port product and is supplied with a gridplate. The PowerCat 6 Shielded DIN Module is a key component of the PowerCat 6 shielded channel compliant system. The module features the Shielded DataGate 6 connector that allows 180° cable exit. This superior connector provides 360° shielded protection by utilizing a two piece tin/nickel plated brass can that encloses the RJ45 IDC. The Shielded DataGate connector includes a unique integral shutter that not only protects it from dust and contaminants, but the ingenious spring-loaded design also ejects improperly seated patch cords. The Shielded DataGate 6 connector is dual color coded for either 568A or 568B wiring schedules and is RJ11 compatible.
Suitable for high-speed data transmission, the Shielded DataGate 6 connector has been designed to exceed the highest electrical performance standards in the industry and has been independently tested and verified by ETL SEMKO for Category 6 component compliance. The Shielded DataGate 6 connector is also backward compatible with Shielded C5e systems.
Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6 Shielded products are used in a system to maximize cabling performance. The System has been independently verified by Intertek ETL SEMKO as compliant with ISO/ IEC TR24570 and TIA/EIA TSB-155 technical reports for the support of 10G BASE-T Channels and Permanent Links.
