The Intellinet Cat5e pass-through jack, type 167109, is a network connection module for use in structured cabling systems. The device is designed as a Punch-Down type, meaning it is used with a special tool to connect cables to the contacts. It is intended for installation in standard network panels or outlets and enables a secure, mechanically stable connection. The jack is finished in Silver and features a metal housing, providing high mechanical stability and protection against external influences.

Applications

The pass-through jack is specifically designed for use with shielded twisted pair (FTP) cables of category Cat5e. These cable types are common in professional networks, particularly in environments where high data integrity and low interference are required. The jack is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as it supports an operating temperature range of -40 to 80 °C. This makes it suitable for industrial applications, server rooms, or outdoor installations where extreme temperatures may occur.

Features and Equipment in Detail

A key feature is the integrated cable holder, which ensures that the cable connection is not damaged by mechanical stress on the contacts. This extends the lifespan of the connection and ensures reliable signal transmission. The jack is compatible with 110 and Krone tools, enabling universal use in various installation environments. The connection is made via an RJ-45 connector, the standard for Ethernet networks.

Technology Explained Simply

The jack supports the Cat5e cable category, which enables a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet). Performance complies with the ANSI/TIA/EIA 568 B.2 standard, which defines the electrical and mechanical requirements for network cabling. The use of FTP cables (Fully Shielded Twisted Pair) provides effective shielding against electromagnetic interference, which is especially important in environments with high electromagnetic noise. The jack is designed for cables with a diameter of 22 to 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge), covering the standard for network cables.

Compatibility and Accessories

The jack is designed for use with shielded Cat5e cables and requires no additional adapters or converters. Compatibility with 110 and Krone tools allows flexible integration into existing installation environments.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by inserting the cable conductors into the corresponding contacts of the jack using an appropriate tool. The integrated cable holders ensure that the cables are not damaged by tension on the contacts. The jack is designed for mounting in standard network panels or outlets, with the exact mounting method depending on the specific outlet. The use of tools from the 110 or Krone brands is recommended to ensure a clean and reliable connection.

Operational Advantages

The jack provides a stable, mechanically robust connection that functions reliably even under extreme temperatures. The integrated shielding and use of FTP cables ensure high signal quality and minimal interference. Compatibility with common tools and standards simplifies installation and maintenance. The 10-year warranty underscores the product’s reliability. The jack is UL-listed, confirming compliance with safety and quality standards. Color coding according to the 568 A/B standard allows for clear identification of conductors, which is helpful during maintenance and troubleshooting.
