Panduit CJS688TGY-24 Mini-Com Cat 6 Shielded RJ45 TG Jack Module
The Panduit CJS688TGY-24 delivers tool-free Cat 6 shielded termination for structured cabling deployments where speed and consistency matter. Each black Mini-Com module uses TG (Tool-less Termination Group) technology to seat 22-26 AWG twisted-pair conductors without a punch-down tool, cutting install time and eliminating the variability that comes from tech-to-tech termination force. Factory tested to 250 MHz and individually serialized for audit trails, this 24-pack is built for integrators running surveillance backbones, access control trunks, or PoE-dense IoT networks where every jack needs documented performance and 100W power handling.
Key Features
- TG tool-free termination — seat conductors by hand, no punch-down tool required, consistent contact pressure across all eight positions
- Shielded RJ45 design — 360° EMI protection for installations near high-voltage lighting, motors, or dense cable bundles
- 100% factory swept to 250 MHz — every module ships pre-tested and serialized with a unique ID for post-install documentation
- 100W PoE support — rated for IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and Type 4 alongside 2,500-cycle durability under continuous power load
- Mini-Com ecosystem compatibility — drops into Panduit shielded patch panels, surface-mount boxes, and angled faceplates without adapters
- 24-pack configuration — matches standard 1U patch panel layouts and reduces per-port cost on multi-floor builds
TG termination replaces the punch-down motion with a slide-and-lock cam mechanism: strip the cable jacket, untwist pairs to the color code, insert conductors into the color-coded ports on the module's rear, then close the hinged cap until it clicks. The cam compresses all eight contacts simultaneously and trims excess wire in one motion. Because contact force is controlled by the module's mechanical design rather than the installer's wrist angle, you get the same 50-microinch gold-plated connection whether the tech has ten years of experience or ten days. The serialized label on each module's side records the unique ID, letting you log every jack's serial number in your as-built documentation or DCIM database for MAC traceability. Shielded construction extends the cable's foil screen all the way to the plug interface — critical when you're running 4K IP cameras or 90W access points through the same conduit as fluorescent ballasts or three-phase motor feeds. The module's die-cast shell bonds to the patch panel's grounded frame, completing the EMI path without relying on the plug's shield alone.
Deployment fits anywhere Panduit's Mini-Com system lives: snap modules into 24- or 48-port 1U shielded patch panels for rack termination, press them into dual-gang faceplates for wall outlets, or use angled faceplates in open-ceiling spaces where cable enters from above. The 0.62" width matches standard keystone spacing, so modules sit side-by-side without gaps or interference. Each module accepts solid or stranded 22-26 AWG conductors, covering everything from plenum-rated riser cable to pre-terminated patch cord repair. The 100W PoE rating applies across the module's 2,500-insertion lifespan, meaning the contacts won't degrade under continuous 802.3bt Type 4 load — relevant for PTZ cameras, IP intercoms, or WAPs that pull 60-90W around the clock. Black housings disappear into dark-anodized rack frames or black faceplates; the 24-per-package count supports a full 1U panel deployment without opening multiple boxes. Cost per jack drops compared to single or six-packs, and the consistent part number simplifies ordering for multi-site rollouts.
Every module ships with test data verifying compliance to ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 and ISO 11801 Class E requirements, plus insertion loss, return loss, NEXT, and FEXT swept across the full 1-250 MHz range. The serialized ID ties that test data to the physical jack, giving you a paper trail if a link fails certification or a customer demands proof of component performance. UL 2043 plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces without conduit, and RoHS compliance clears federal procurement barriers. The 240-piece carton quantity supports larger projects where you're terminating multiple IDFs in one mobilization, keeping your van stock consistent and your per-port material cost predictable across the entire structured cabling job.
