Secomp Keystone Jack Category 6A Shielded Toolless Slim Short (MPN 26.11.0391)

Secomp Keystone Jack Category 6A Shielded Toolless Slim Short is a compact network connector designed for Class EA and 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations. The shielded toolless keystone jack supports high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments. Its slim short form factor fits into standard keystone wall plates, patch panels and compact networking modules where space is limited.

Advantages

The shielded design provides improved protection against EMI and crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity for high-frequency Category 6A links. Toolless termination enables fast, reliable connections without punch-down tools, saving installation time. The slim short profile reduces depth requirements behind wall plates and in shallow patch panels, making the jack suitable for constrained installations while retaining full Category 6A electrical performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet network terminations
• Class EA structured cabling installations
• Keystone wall plates in residential and commercial environments
• Patching in shallow patch panels and compact racks
• Small network assemblies and retrofit projects with limited space

Key specifications

• Category: 6A (Class EA) performance for up to 500 MHz
• Shielding: metal shield to reduce EMI and improve return loss
• Termination type: toolless IDC-style termination for rapid installation
• Form factor: slim short keystone compatible with standard modules and plates
• Contact design: gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer
• Conductor support: compatible with solid and stranded 22–24 AWG twisted pair cable

How to use

Install the keystone jack by inserting it into a compatible keystone wall plate or patch panel until it snaps into place. Strip the outer cable jacket to the recommended length, separate and align the individual pairs according to the colour code printed on the jack, and press each conductor into the toolless IDC slots until fully seated. After termination, route the cable and secure it with any integrated strain relief or an external clamp, then test the link with appropriate network test equipment to verify performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Category 6A shielded keystone jack in shielded cabling systems with corresponding shielded patch cords and panels. Ensure proper grounding of the shield at patch panels or outlets to maintain EMC performance. Verify cable type and pair untwist lengths according to Class EA installation practices and test each link after termination to confirm compliance with performance requirements.
