Example Installation Scenario
In a Phoenix data-center refresh, technicians choose the 353-V2813/C6ABK jacks to populate high-density patch panels feeding 10GBASE-T switches. The 90° orientation maximizes port count in shallow racks, while the durable gold-plated contacts and flame-retardant housing ensure reliable performance under continuous PoE++ loads.
Why It Matters for Installers, Technicians & Hobbyists
Professional installers value the snap-in design, color-coded terminations, and tool-friendly IDC block for rapid, error-free deployments. Technicians trust the UL-listed materials and gold contacts to withstand repeated terminations and meet strict safety codes. Hobbyists and small-business IT staff appreciate the ease of upgrading to 10 Gigabit networks with a compact, high-density keystone solution.
