A Unique Design
Tool-less jack:
- Easy and quick to install
- Fast reliable connection in record time: all eight copper
conductors are effortlessly wired in a single operation
- Quality of connection by design: not dependent on tool
condition or operator skills; just listen for the click
- Consistent results: the length of untwisted pairs is
always kept to a minimum, by design
Re-usable:
- If a wiring mistake is made, there is no need to use a
new jack
- No time wasted waiting for another delivery
Shallow depth, cable entry from top or bottom:
- Easier cable management
- More space and flexibility to ensure the cable
minimum bend radius is never compromised
• Allows a wide range of cable routing options
• Can be used with low profile trunking and boxes
Keystone mounting:
- Compatibility between Volition copper and fiber jacks
and many other accessories on the market using
standard keystone mounting
Accepts both solid conductors from AWG 26 to 22
and stranded conductors:
- Compatible with all cables on the market and enables
"jack to plug" cables to be manufactured using stranded
conductors (for use in open office architectures)
Integral shutter:
- Increased dust protection, especially during
installation or in a dirty environment
- No additional shuttering required on faceplates
- Allows direct mounting into floor boxes
- Protects jacks in the patch panel
