Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the tool-less design?

The tool-less design significantly speeds up the installation process by eliminating the need for a separate crimping or punch-down tool.

Is this jack suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?

Yes, the shielded Cat6A jack is suitable for PoE applications, and its robust construction helps manage any heat generated.

What is the difference between shielded (FTP) and unshielded keystone jacks?

Shielded jacks (FTP) have a metallic foil or braid around the conductors to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alien crosstalk (AXC), leading to more stable and faster data transmission in noisy environments.

What does 'Augmented Category 6/Class EA' mean?

This designation means the jack meets or exceeds the performance specifications for Category 6A cabling, specifically designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters.

Can I use this jack with Cat5e or Cat6 cables?

While it may physically connect, using lower category cables will limit the performance to the capabilities of the lowest component in the link. For optimal 10GbE performance, Cat6A cable is required.

How does the low-profile design benefit installation?

The reduced depth of 28mm allows it to fit easily into standard electrical boxes and shallow back boxes, preventing interference with wall plates and other mounted devices.

What termination standard should I use (T568A or T568B)?

Both standards are supported. It is crucial to use the same standard consistently throughout your network installation for proper connectivity.

Troubleshooting

No network connectivity after installation

Verify that all eight conductors are correctly terminated in the correct positions according to the color code (T568A/B). Ensure the termination cap is fully pressed down and has clicked securely. Check the integrity of the cable and the patch cord.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connection

Confirm that the cable is properly seated and that the shielding is intact. Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable type used is indeed Cat6A and that all other network components (switch, router) also support the required speeds.

Termination cap does not click into place

Ensure conductors are properly seated within their slots and not obstructing the cap. Check for any foreign objects or debris preventing a secure closure. Try re-seating the conductors and applying firm, even pressure to the cap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceeds Cat6A performance standards for future-proofing.
  • Compact low-profile design ideal for space-constrained installations.
  • Tool-less termination speeds up installation time.
  • Robust shielded construction provides excellent signal integrity.
  • Durable die-cast housing ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Tool-less termination requires a specific technique to ensure a secure connection.
  • Shielded design may add a slight cost premium over unshielded options.
  • Primarily designed for specific Excel keystone mounting systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Excel Delta Series Cat6A jack features a tool-less termination design. Ensure the cable jacket is stripped to the appropriate length as indicated within the termination area. Route the individual conductors into the designated slots according to the T568A or T568B color code. Once positioned, firmly press the termination cap down until it clicks, securing the conductors. The low-profile design allows for easy mounting into standard keystone wall plates or patch panels, supporting multiple cable entry angles.

Compatibility: This jack is designed to be compatible with Excel's Cat6A keystone jack range and standard RJ45 network environments. It is suitable for round Category 6A cables. Ensure compatibility with your chosen back box and shutter type (flush or angled) for optimal fit.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the jack clean and free from dust and debris. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the internal components. Regularly check connections for physical security.
