The integrated boot offers convenience when using it in densely populated blade switches or high-density patch panels. Its slim body seamlessly aligns with the width of the modular plug, ensuring no interference between adjacent ports. The distinguishing feature of this boot is its composition(double-shot), as it is crafted using a dual-material design. The two claws responsible for securely gripping the modular plug are constructed from rigid PC (Polycarbonate) material. Meanwhile, the tail boot is fabricated from a flexible PVC material, enabling free-directional orientation without any constraints. - PC(claws)/PVC(tail boot) UL94V-2 rated - For approximately 6.4mm shielded cable O.D.

Field Term. Plugs

Field Terminable Plug plays dominant role in modern cabling. The prevailing deployment is driven by two main reasons. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) concerns: PoE requires network cable to be preferably 23AWG at least in order to cope with the attenuation goes along with distance. The bigger conductors (Cat 6A 23AWG solid wires for instance) support better heat dissipation as well. A regular RJ-45 modular plug will not do the job because the limited space does not allow you to fit in 4-pair of 23AWG wires into each groove inside the RJ-45 modular plug. Field Terminable Plug might be the only resolution for that. For Transmission Concerns: Field Terminable Plug features intuitive assembly process. You just do what you have always been doing on Toolless Keystone Jack, because they both feature similar assembly process. The knack is the PCBA inside the plug. It features special technique to moderate the crosstalk into the perfect magnitude and phase range. HCI offers U.S. patented Field Terminable Plugs which comply with dimensional requirements of ANSI/TIA-1096-A (former FCC Part 68) and product reliability requirements of IEC 60603-7 for RJ45 8-way connector. PoE compliance is verified by Intertek’s ETL according to IEC 60512-99-002 to ensure the support of 4PPoE remote powering. Various options are available in: Application: Shielded/Unshielded, Straight/Angled Transmission Performance: “MPTL + Patch Cord Limit” or “Direct-Attach” Depends on different project requirements, you can freely choose the favorable ones to satisfy your actual needs.

Modular Plugs

Network mating interface RJ-45 Modular Plug has a long history with Telecom Legacy. Transmission speeds increase as network technology advances, and bandwidth requirements also grow. Modular Plug plays an important role in copper cabling. The Telecom legacy is the basis for the network evolution, meaning some disadvantages are inherent. For the concerns of compatibility with the existing telecom system, central pins 4 and 5 are preoccupied. Combinations of pins 1.2 and 7.8 can still maintain good impedance, but pin 3.6 cannot avoid twisted pair splits. As a result, Pair 3 (Pin 3.6) becomes the most impedance mismatched pair and picks up unwanted signals from the other pairs, especially Pair 1 (Pin 5.4). RJ-45 Modular Plugs are known for their inherent disadvantages, but the workmanship in terminating the twisted pairs also determines whether you will have an acceptable Category Compliant patch cord. You may say perhaps the weakest link in the whole network cabling is the patch cord, the weakest connection within the patch cord is the modular plug. It makes a lot of sense to choose well-designed RJ-45 Modular Plugs to complete the cabling channel. Here are a few tips for selecting a good one:

Plug Relief

If you ask an IT personnel what your network management policy is, he or she would probably respond that “Moving is not as good as staying put”. However, it is inevitable that ports will be moved, added, or changed (MAC) frequently. The swap of ports in a telecom closet, zone distribution spot, or in work area becomes routine. Although the RJ-45 plug guarantees at least 1,000 times mating cycles, the retention clip is unlikely to break under normal operation. Nevertheless, the following scenes might look familiar to you: - Oops! I stepped on a plug. - The plug seems to lose connection with the jack. Let me bend the clip over to make it more secure. - I can’t unplug the patch cord from a socket out of the blue. To free it, I inserted a flat screwdriver and levered. Any of the above scenarios could result in the retention clip breaking. When the cables and cords are organized neatly in bundles, you would consider saving the plug instead of switching out a new patch cord. Afterall, better keep still than move. That’s when the “Plug Relief” kicks in. It extends the plug’s life when the retention clip is damaged. Just clip-on then another patch cord is saved. There are further uses for the "Plug Relief." It allows you to manage post-installation applications by replacing the current retention clip with colored "Plug Relief". No muss, no fuss.
