Tripp Lite N252-024 Cat6a Shielded Keystone Jack

Overview

The Tripp Lite N252-024 is a shielded Cat6a keystone jack designed for terminating 23-26 AWG solid or stranded copper cable. It provides a robust connection point for high-speed Ethernet networks, ensuring data integrity in demanding environments. This jack is critical for installations requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over copper cabling, such as in enterprise data centers or high-density office spaces where signal integrity is paramount.

Compatibility

This keystone jack is compatible with standard keystone wallplates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes that accept standard keystone connectors. It is rated for Cat6a performance, making it suitable for 10GBase-T Ethernet applications up to 100 meters. It is designed to work with 23-26 AWG solid or stranded copper Ethernet cable.

Installation Notes

Termination requires a standard 110-type punch-down tool. Ensure proper cable jacket stripping and conductor seating to achieve rated performance. The shielding must be properly connected to the jack's ground point and the corresponding ground on the patch panel or wallplate for full effectiveness against EMI/RFI.
