West Penn Wire KJS458MT-C6ACI Cat6a Shielded Insert

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE KJS458MT-C6ACI is a Cat6a shielded modular insert designed for structured cabling installations. This keystone-style jack insert terminates shielded Cat6a cable runs and mounts into standard wall plates, patch panels, or modular furniture faceplate systems. It maintains shielding continuity across the connection point, which is critical in environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this insert to complete high-performance horizontal cable runs that must meet or exceed TIA-568-C.2 Category 6a channel requirements.

This insert is suited for commercial and institutional structured cabling projects where Cat6a performance is required. Typical applications include data centers, office environments, healthcare facilities, and educational buildings where 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper is specified. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard modular mounting systems, making it practical for both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Cat6a shielded termination maintains signal integrity and suppresses EMI on high-speed data runs
• Keystone-style form factor fits standard wall plates, patch panels, and modular faceplates
• Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over shielded horizontal cable runs
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation insert for Cat6a shielded structured cabling systems using standard modular keystone mounting formats.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or structured cabling installers. Terminate shielded cable according to the manufacturer's termination instructions and ensure the drain wire and shield are bonded to the insert's grounding path to maintain shielding continuity. Follow TIA-568 standards and local codes for cable routing, bend radius, and grounding. Test the completed channel with a certified cable tester rated for Cat6a before commissioning.
