Panduit NKP5E88MBU CAT 5E PUNCHDOWN JACK MOD

Overview

The Panduit NKP5E88MBU is a Category 5E punchdown jack module designed for terminating twisted-pair copper cabling in structured wiring systems. It provides a robust and reliable connection point for network infrastructure, ensuring signal integrity for data transmission. This module is intended for use in patch panels, surface mount boxes, and wall plates where clean termination and easy field installation are critical. The NKP5E88MBU is engineered for environments requiring dependable network connectivity, such as enterprise offices, data centers, and industrial control rooms.

Compatibility

This Category 5E jack module is compatible with standard 110-type punchdown tools and supports termination of 22-26 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors. It is designed to meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 5E performance standards. The module fits into Panduit's NetKey™ faceplates, patch panels, and surface mount boxes, providing a consistent system solution. It is suitable for use in Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks.

Installation Notes

Utilize a standard 110-type punchdown tool for terminating conductors. Ensure proper conductor seating to achieve optimal performance and reliability. The module is color-coded to TIA/EIA-568A and TIA/EIA-568B wiring schemes, facilitating correct installation. A minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter should be maintained post-termination to prevent signal degradation.
