Data Sheet 3M™ Volition™ RJ45 K6 Jacks

Part of 3M™ Volition™ Network Solutions, the new K6 range is our ultimate Category 6 hardware

component (ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568), with keystone mounting.

The K6 jack is a core product in our system solution, which includes a comprehensive range of

keystone patch panels, sockets and faceplates, Category 6 patch cords and cables. The K6 jack

offers the best margin over Class E/Category 6 link standards.

The RJ45 K6 jack is available in three different formats:

• UTP

• FTP with drain wire

• STP 360° braid or foil connection UNIQUEDESIGN

RJ45 K6 Jack

Features Benefits• Tool-less jack ... easy and quick to install

... fast reliable connection in record time: all 8 copper conductors are effortlessly

wired in a single operation

... quality of connection by design: not dependant on tool condition or operator skills,

just listen for the click

... consistent results: the length of untwisted pairs and the length between the end of the

conductor and the IDC contacts are always kept to a minimum, by design

• Re-usable ... if a wiring mistake is made there is no need to use a new jack

... no time wasted waiting for another delivery

• Shallow depth, cable entry from

top or bottom

... easier cable management

... more space and flexibility to ensure the cable minimum bend radius is never compromised

- allows a wide range of cable routing options

- can be used with low profile trunking and boxes

• Keystone mounting ... compatibility between Volition copper and fibre jacks and many other accessories on the market

using the standard keystone mounting

• UTP, FTP and STP 360° shielded versions

have the same ‘one-click’ tool-less design

... solutions for all levels of EMC protection using the same accessories means less training

• Accepts both solid conductors from AWG

26 to 22 and stranded conductors

... compatible with all cables on the market and enables ‘jack to plug’ cables to be manufactured

using stranded conductors (for use in open office architectures)

• Integral shutter ... increased dust protection, especially during installation or in a dirty environment

... no additional shuttering required on faceplates

... higher port density

... allows direct mounting into floor boxes

... protects jacks in the patch panel
