Category 5 patch blocks

InfoTap and QuickPort patch blocks facilitate the installation or addition of a reduced-size Category 5 crossconnect system. InfoTap is pre-assembled with 12 Category 5 jacks. QuickPort is field-configured with 12 snap-in jacks that range from voice grade to 100 Mbits/sec. Both versions offer steel construction and TIA/EIA-568A-compliant jacks with 100-type termination, which is electrically balanced to reduce return loss.
