Our CAT8 Shielded HD Component-Rated line represents our premier data jack solution for high-performance 40 Gigabit networks. These shielded CAT8 keystone jacks feature advanced PCB technology, phosphor bronze IDC contacts, gold-plated prongs, and zinc die-cast housing with nickel plating for superior EMI and alien crosstalk protection. The tool-less design with IDC cap simplifies termination with easy-to-read wire labels, universal T568A/T568B wiring, and optional tool-less installation. Compatible with both solid and stranded 22-24 AWG wire, these jacks help you save time and money. Supports PoE++ (802.3bt) 4PPoE up to 100W and is fully backward compatible with Category 6A. We take great pride in our quality control procedures and commitment to excellence. Our CAT8 Shielded HD Component-Rated keystone jacks are UL Listed and meet all requirements for ANSI/EIA/TIA 568.2-D compliance. They are rigorously inspected and tested to comply with stringent industry transmission and safety standards.
