What Is a CAT6A 180 Degree Mini Keystone Jack?
This product is a compact RJ45 termination module for CAT6A UTP permanent links. Its 180-degree layout routes the horizontal cable into the rear IDC area in line with the module, making it suitable for compatible patch panels, wall outlets and compact enclosures.
Model ZCMKJ180U6A-B1 uses new PC plastic for the body and accepts 22–24 AWG solid wire. The smaller body can help installers manage space behind the mounting plate, but the dimensional drawing should always be checked against the selected panel or faceplate.
Mini Body Construction and 180° Termination
Designed to reduce occupied depth and support cable management in compatible high-density mounting hardware.
Rear IDC orientation keeps cable routing aligned with the jack body for organized panel and outlet installation.
New PC plastic is used for the module structure, with phosphor-bronze terminal and contact components.
Key Benefits
The mini body supports projects where rear clearance is limited and cable routing must remain controlled.
Intended for CAT6A UTP permanent-link applications with compatible cable and connectivity components.
The IDC is specified for 22–24 AWG solid wire used in structured horizontal cabling.
Specified for at least 750 RJ45 mating cycles and at least 250 IDC termination cycles.
Gold plating is listed at 3 microinches and can be customized up to 50 microinches by order confirmation.
Standard piece, box and carton quantities simplify distributor and project supply planning.
Applications
- High-density CAT6A UTP copper patch panels.
- Wall faceplates and modular work-area outlets.
- Shallow surface boxes and compact equipment enclosures.
- Data center and equipment-room horizontal cabling.
- Commercial building LAN, wireless access point and IP device outlets.
Selection Guide
Use this model in an unshielded CAT6A channel. Select shielded hardware when the project requires end-to-end shielding.
Confirm solid 22–24 AWG conductors, insulation size and T568A or T568B wiring requirements.
Compare the dimension drawing with the panel, faceplate or box and leave enough space for the cable bend.

FAQ
What does 180-degree termination mean?
The cable conductors enter the IDC termination area from the rear in line with the jack body, supporting organized routing in compatible panels and outlets.
Which conductors fit this keystone jack?
The IDC is specified for 22–24 AWG solid wire. Confirm conductor and insulation dimensions before ordering.
Where does the mini body help?
The compact body can improve rear clearance in compatible patch panels, faceplates and shallow boxes. Always compare the dimensional drawing with the target hardware.
Is this a shielded keystone jack?
No. This model is specified as a CAT6A UTP keystone jack for an unshielded channel architecture.
What should be provided for an RFQ?
Provide the model, cable category, conductor gauge, wiring standard, mounting hardware, quantity, contact-plating requirement and packaging needs.
