METZ CONNECT MFRk-E08 F Cat.6A Shielded RJ45 Keystone Module, Tool-Free, White 110658412014

The METZ CONNECT MFRk-E08 F is a Cat.6A shielded RJ45 keystone module engineered for high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Its tool-free IDC termination and die-cast zinc housing ensure quick, reliable installations with superior EMI protection. Supporting Power over Ethernet up to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt), this module delivers both data and power over a single cable, making it ideal for modern smart buildings and high-density network environments.

Advantages

This keystone module offers exceptional performance up to 500 MHz, exceeding Cat.6A standards. The fully shielded design minimizes alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connections even in noisy environments. Tool-free termination with color-coded T568A/B wiring saves installation time and reduces errors. Gold-plated contacts (0.8 µm) guarantee long-term corrosion resistance and reliable signal integrity over more than 750 mating cycles. The robust die-cast zinc housing provides durability and excellent grounding.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks in data centers and enterprise environments
• Power over Ethernet applications (PoE, PoE+, PoE++) for IP cameras, access points, and IoT devices
• High-density patch panels and wall outlets requiring compact, shielded connectivity
