C2G CG35212 Cat6 Shielded 180 Degree Keystone Jack

Product Description

The C2G CG35212 is a Cat6 shielded 180-degree keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This connector terminates horizontal cable runs at wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes, providing a shielded termination point that helps reduce electromagnetic interference in high-density or noisy electrical environments. The 180-degree straight-through orientation makes it compatible with standard keystone-style wall plates and patch panel frames. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary users of this component.

This keystone jack is suited for Cat6 structured wiring projects where shielded cabling is specified, such as commercial office builds, data centers, healthcare facilities, and industrial environments with elevated EMI concerns. The 180-degree port orientation allows direct horizontal cable entry, which works well in shallow wall boxes and surface-mount enclosures where cable bend radius is limited. It terminates to the RJ45 standard, supporting Ethernet and other 8P8C data applications.

Key Features

• Cat6-rated shielded termination for reduced EMI and crosstalk in demanding network environments
• 180-degree straight port orientation for horizontal cable entry into wall plates and patch panels
• Keystone form factor fits standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes
• RJ45 interface supports Ethernet and 8P8C data cabling applications
• Shielded housing aids in maintaining signal integrity in high-interference installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation component for use with Cat6 shielded cabling systems in standard keystone-compatible wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures.

Installation Notes

This jack is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 wiring standards. Terminate the cable using a 110-style punch-down tool and follow the T568A or T568B wiring scheme as specified by the project. Ensure the shield is properly bonded to the jack housing and the patch panel ground path to maintain shielding continuity. De-energize any PoE or active network equipment connected to the run before termination work begins.
