The C2G Cat6 Shielded Keystone Jacks, part number 35217, are designed for terminating Cat6 network cables in structured cabling environments. These jacks provide a shielded connection, which can be beneficial in installations where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a concern, such as near machinery or power cables. They are suitable for IT professionals and network administrators building or upgrading network infrastructure in commercial or industrial settings. These keystone jacks facilitate the creation of secure and reliable network drops by allowing Cat6 cables to be terminated into wall plates, patch panels, or surface mount boxes, thereby solving the problem of exposed cable ends and providing a standardized interface for network devices. They are a practical component for establishing robust wired network connectivity.
These keystone jacks are designed for use with Cat6 network cables, providing a termination point for shielded Cat6 cabling.
The primary benefit of a shielded keystone jack is its ability to help mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can be important in environments with high electrical noise.
These keystone jacks are commonly used in structured cabling installations to terminate Cat6 cables into wall plates, patch panels, or surface mount boxes, creating network access points.
While they can physically terminate unshielded Cat6, their primary design and benefit are for shielded Cat6 installations where EMI protection is desired.
