METZ CONNECT 130B12-E-90 Cat.6A suojattu RJ45 Keystone -moduuli, 90°

For high-density patch fields where every millimetre counts, the METZ CONNECT 130B12-E-90 delivers Cat.6A performance in a compact 90° keystone footprint. Unlike straight modules that force cable bends behind the panel, this angled design routes the cable parallel to the mounting surface, reducing stress and simplifying installation in shallow enclosures. The die-cast zinc housing provides full 360° shielding, while the gold-plated contacts ensure reliable transmission up to 500 MHz.

Highlights

• Cat.6A (Class EA) performance up to 500 MHz, compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173-1, and TIA/EIA-568
• 90° angled RJ45 jack with shielded die-cast zinc housing for superior EMI protection
• Tool-free snap-in keystone mounting; compatible with standard module carriers and patch panels
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, 4PPoE) per IEEE 802.3af/at/bt
• IDC termination with LSA-Plus compatible tooling; accepts solid and stranded conductors

In daily use

Terminating the 130B12-E-90 is straightforward: strip the cable, lay the pairs into the colour-coded IDC slots, and press with a standard LSA-Plus tool. The 90° orientation keeps the cable close to the panel, reducing clutter and improving airflow in dense racks. The module is re-terminable up to 10 times, allowing for moves and changes without replacing hardware. With over 750 mating cycles, it withstands frequent patching in dynamic environments.
