Termination block system
Krone's Ultim8 termination block system meets Category 5e and Category 6 requirements, delivering a near-end crosstalk of 63 dB at 100 MHz, according to company claims. Designed for use with data system components or voice applications, it can support Gigabit Ethernet transmission speeds. The center port de sign lets you isolate the circuit for testing in either direction without moving wires. These blocks may be mounted against a wall, as well as on both the front and back of an equipment rack, since only front access is required.
