With Cable Gland |Shielded Die-Cast Cat 8.1 Field Termination Plug for Patch Cord Use (88TS52G8TK) – HCI

The 88TS52G8TK plug is a member of the 88TS52G product family and is specifically designed for use in Cat 8.1 patch cord assemblies.

It features a standard body length that offers a generous grounding area of approximately 10mm. With its 360-degree air-tight enclosure, it provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The cable gland is equipped with an elastic gasket, allowing for a secure and adjustable fit to accommodate various cable sizes. This ensures the integrity of shielding and the effectiveness of the screen, providing reliable EMI protection.

The 88TS52G8TK plug is designed to meet the Cat 8.1 channel-compliant performance standards. As per TIA-568.2-D, a 2-point permanent link allows for the connection of one patch cord at each end to complete a channel of less than 30 meters. This highlights the increased importance of the patch cord, as the mated area between the jack and plug represents the weakest point, potentially introducing the severest impedance-unbalance in the entire cabling system. By assembling the Cat 8.1 patch cord with 88TS52G8TK plugs at both ends, achieving Cat 8.1 channel compliance within patching lengths ranging from 0.5 meters to 3 meters becomes easier than ever before.

The plug is also in complete compliance with the IEEE 802.3bt 4PPoE (Power over Ethernet) requirement, ensuring seamless compatibility. It possesses the ability to effectively deliver 90W of power from the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to the Powered Device (PD) with received power 71.3W, satisfying the power delivery standards specified for PoE Type 4.
