TERMINATION TOOLS
Molex Premise Networks
Molex has announced the release
of two new termination tools – the
DataGate 4-pair termination tool
and the MOD-Clip 4-pair termination
tool – both offering an efficient way
to terminate all four pairs of cable
simultaneously ensuring the speed of
jack terminations time and time again.
Designed specifically for use with
Molex DataGate, Keystone, and Cat
6A shielded Jacks, the DataGate
4-pair termination tool frame accepts
either the UTP termination head (for
termination of the UTP DataGate,
and Molex Keystone Jacks) or the C6A termination head (for termination of the
Molex C6A shielded DataGate Jacks).
Both tools enable fool proof placement of the jack and produces
accurately seated and neatly trimmed wires in one simple operation, to give
a more consistent punchdown ensuring more consistent performance.
