D-Link NKJ-6AWHI1B21 Cat6A 10G UTP 180-Degree Tool-less Keystone Jack

D-Link NKJ-6AWHI1B21 Keystone

The D-Link Cat6A Keystone Jack provides a high-performance termination point for structured cabling systems requiring 10GBASE-T Ethernet speeds. This component facilitates data transmission up to 500 MHz, meeting or exceeding the TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Category 6A standards. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design utilizes advanced internal geometry to mitigate alien crosstalk, which is a critical requirement for maintaining signal integrity in high-density 10-Gigabit environments. Network engineers utilize this specific module to ensure reliable connectivity across horizontal cabling runs in data centers and enterprise server rooms.

Key Features

• 180-Degree Tool-less Design
  The integrated hinge mechanism allows for cable termination without the need for a specialized punch-down tool.

• Universal Wiring Compatibility

  • Supports T568A and T568B wiring configurations
  • Color-coded labels facilitate rapid identification during installation
  • Accommodates 22 to 24 AWG solid copper conductors

• High-Performance Contact Points
  Phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating ensure minimal signal loss and resistance to oxidation over long-term deployment.

• Physical Durability
  The high-impact, fire-retardant ABS plastic housing protects internal circuitry from mechanical stress and environmental factors.

Structured cabling projects often face space constraints within wall outlets and patch panels. Therefore, this module features a slim profile that supports high-density port configurations. The 180-degree entry point allows the cable to enter straight from the rear, reducing the bend radius and preventing physical strain on the copper pairs. Consequently, this maintains the twist rate closer to the termination point, which is vital for achieving the full 500 MHz bandwidth required for Cat6A certification. Additionally, the tool-less cap provides consistent pressure across all eight conductors, reducing the risk of intermittent connections often caused by manual punch-down variations.
