Overview

Category 5e screened keystone feed-thru couplers can be used as a second piece of connecting hardware when a cross-connection is needed for active equipment connection to the cabling, and as a consolidation point in the open office environment. Feed-thru cou-plers meet component, permanent link and channel requirements as defined in TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and provide a sound platform for supporting today's network technologies. These high-density feed-thru couplers are compatible with Signamax 24- and 48-port high density snap-in patch panels providing flexibility in field installation. They are also compatible with all Signamax faceplates and sur-face mount multimedia boxes.
