Jack Up Your Communication Wiring System

The new Mini-Jack TX-5e from Panduit is specifically designed to comply with increased Category 5e performance requirements. Using GIGA-TX technology, which minimizes the length of conductor untwists, the jack optimizes performance and reduces installation expense. Forward motion termination places no localized stress on critical internal components for maximum reliability.

It features conductor retention slots for improved termination. Users can terminate the jack with standard channel lock pliers or a handy termination tool. The jack is a part of a complete line of communication wiring systems available through Panduit. Panduit, Tinley Park, IL, (888) 506-5400, www.panduit.com.
