Panduit CJSUD688TGWHY Mini-Com Cat 6 Shielded Up/Down RJ45 Jack Module
The Panduit CJSUD688TGWHY solves cable-routing problems in dense patch-panel deployments where vertical space is limited and bend-radius compliance is critical. This Mini-Com Cat 6 shielded RJ45 jack module features a 45° Up/Down angled design that redirects cable exit paths away from adjacent ports, reducing congestion behind faceplates and maintaining the 4× bend-radius requirement for Cat 6 twisted-pair cable. TG-style termination eliminates the need for punch-down tools—individual conductors insert and lock into place with finger pressure—enabling faster field termination and reducing installer fatigue on large-scale projects. Each module is 100% factory-tested to exceed ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Category 6 channel and component performance requirements, and individually serialized for end-to-end traceability in structured-cabling documentation systems.
Key Features
- 45° Up/Down angled jack body redirects cable exit for improved routing in tight spaces and bend-radius compliance
- TG tool-less termination—conductors lock into place without punch-down tool, reducing installation time and repetitive-strain injury
- Shielded twisted-pair (STP) design with 360° shield termination for EMI/RFI rejection in high-interference environments
- Exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO 11801 Cat 6 channel and component performance specifications
- Supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt Type 3/Type 4 (PoE++) power delivery—rated for 2,500 mating cycles under PoE++ load
- Individual serial number on each jack module enables asset tracking and traceability for warranty and compliance audits
- Compatible with all Panduit Mini-Com modular patch panels, faceplates, and surface-mount boxes
- UL 1863 and UL 2043 plenum-rated, RoHS compliant
The 45° Up/Down angled exit path is engineered for installations where rear-panel depth is constrained—equipment racks with shallow cable managers, wall-mount enclosures, or high-density 48-port 1U patch panels. Traditional straight-exit jacks force cables into tight 90° bends immediately behind the panel; the CJSUD688TGWHY's angled geometry maintains the ANSI/TIA minimum 4× cable-diameter bend radius (approximately 1" for 24 AWG Cat 6) without consuming additional rear clearance. This design reduces insertion loss and return loss degradation caused by over-bent conductors, and prevents the cable-jacket kinking that triggers long-term performance failures in data-center environments. The Up/Down orientation allows you to alternate cable exit directions across adjacent ports, creating natural separation between neighboring runs and simplifying tracer identification during adds/moves/changes.
TG termination uses a tool-less insertion-displacement contact (IDC) mechanism: strip the cable jacket to expose 0.5" of twisted pairs, untwist each pair to the minimum length, insert conductors into the color-coded slots until they bottom out, then snap the jack's rear cap into place to complete the shield bond. No impact tool, no blade adjustment, no verification of seating depth—the geometry is self-gauging. This cuts per-jack termination time from approximately 90 seconds (punch-down) to under 40 seconds, and eliminates the wrist-impact force that causes repetitive-strain injuries on projects terminating hundreds of jacks per day. The shielded design features a 360° shield-termination clamp that bonds the cable's foil or braid shield to the jack's metal housing, providing continuous shield integrity from patch cord to horizontal cable. In environments with variable-frequency drives, fluorescent ballasts, or dense Wi-Fi deployments, this shield continuity keeps alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference below the −40 dB ANEXT limits required for reliable 1000BASE-T and Multi-Gig Ethernet operation.
Each CJSUD688TGWHY module is serialized with a unique alphanumeric identifier laser-etched on the faceplate, enabling integration with cable-management databases (e.g., Panduit's Physical Infrastructure Manager software) for automated asset tracking, warranty validation, and fault isolation. The jack is tested to 2,500 mating cycles under PoE++ Type 4 load (IEEE 802.3bt, up to 71.3W at the PSE), ensuring contact-spring integrity in high-power applications such as PTZ cameras, Wi-Fi 6E access points, and LED lighting controllers. The white housing color matches standard office and commercial environments; the Mini-Com form factor is compatible with Panduit's entire ecosystem of snap-in faceplates, angled adapters, patch-panel frames, and surface-mount boxes, giving installers a single modular platform for copper, fiber, A/V, and USB connectivity across the structured cabling system.
