DataLink 500A Category 6A Unshielded
RJ-45 Keystone Jacks

Description
HCS DataLink 500A patented unshielded copper RJ-45 keystone jack series includes high performance Category 6A snap-in
8-position/8-contact (8P8C) jacks conforming to IEC 60603-7-41 (unshielded 500 MHz connectors).
HCS DataLink 500A jacks are designed for fast and easy snap-in and out of wall plates, patch panels and surface box outlets.
All HCS DataLink 500A jacks are designed in a 90° formation and are available with back interconnection of 110 IDC blocks in
universal pin/pair assignment.
All jacks fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and IEC 60603-7-41 component requirements,
tested at the component level.
The HCS Logo and the DataLink 500A Trademark ensure long lasting high-performance and full support of all present and emerging
applications, including 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit-Ethernet).

Application
HCS DataLink 500A unshielded copper RJ-45 keystone jacks are used in wall outlets, standard 16 Port 1U or staggered 24 Port 1U blank patch panels and surface box outlets and they fully support all presently available LAN applications, including the following protocols:
 10GBASE-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet
