Side entry modular jack

Eliminating alien crosstalk is the biggest challenge for 10 gigabit applications, according to AMP NETCONNECT, and shielded cabling eliminates alien crosstalk.

Now the company has made the shielded cabling option easier, with the SL Series AMP-TWIST Side Entry modular jack, the side entry jack, fully-compatible, 10Gig connector.

The AMP-TWIST jack, when combined with the Compact 600 4-pair PIMF cable, will provide an end to end 10GBase-T compliant system for next generation network cabling infrastructure.

SL Series AMP-TWIST Side Entry modular jack, with integrated cutting blades and simple two-piece construction, can be terminated in 60 seconds.

Additionally, SL Series AMP-TWIST Side Entry modular jacks are rugged, reusable and feature a slim profile for superior density.
