Cat 6A Z-PLUG™ Field Terminated Plug

Z-PLUG offers an innovative approach to connecting IP-enabled IoT and smart building devices. Z-PLUG is designed to provide custom length cables. These cables can be terminated on-site for quick direct connections. They are ideal for PoE LED lights, security cameras, wireless access points, digital displays, DAS, building automation controls, and more. Z-PLUG exceeds all Category 6A performance requirements. It easily supports high-speed applications like 802.11ac and 802.11ax Wi-Fi.

• Terminates both Cat 6A shielded and UTP, solid and stranded cable in conductor sizes from 22 to 26 gauge. All with a single part number and meeting Siemon’s Z-MAX system warranty
• Features shorter plug design with rounded edges and ability to eliminate the boot and latch protector makes it ideal for connecting to devices with limited space
• The user-friendly Z-PLUG termination tool and intuitive hinged lacing module that eliminates cable feed through enables best in class termination speed for rapid deployment of IP-based devices

Industry leading termination

The intuitive design of the Z-MAX® outlet optimizes each step of the termination process to eliminate errors that lead to delays and rework. Setting a new benchmark for both UTP and shielded category 6A termination speed and consistency.

• Zero-Cross termination module accelerates lacing while maintaining pair structure
• Rapid Z-TOOL–based termination eliminates variability that can degrade performance
• Easy wiring verification via color coding on two surfaces
• UTP and shielded outlets terminate in exactly the same way

Z-MAX Realtime 60 Second Termination

Innovative RJ-45 Design

Siemon’s diagonally oriented IDC contact technology is a unique configuration that varies the alignment of each individual contact within the Z-MAX outlet for distinct performance benefits.

• Maximizes pair to pair separation from adjacent outlets to minimize alien crosstalk
• Enhances NEXT performance within outlets
• Fully enclosed IDCs eliminates exposure of uninsulated conductors

Optimally Tuned Performance

The best-in-class performance of the Z-MAX Category 6A system is achieved through an innovative “matched” system that combines an optimally tuned plug with a higher performance outlet.

• Leading performance on all parameters, including alien crosstalk
• Narrower NEXT range provides capability to tune to higher channel performance levels
• Smart-plug technology with a tuned PCB is fully backwards compatible and standards compliant
