Molex VarioKeystone cabling and accessories

The VarioKeystone product range by Molex Premise Networks comprises an S/FTP Cat 7 cable, cable plugs, Cat 6A and Cat 7 inserts and unloaded patch panels, wall outlets and patch cords.

The basic elements of the system are cable plugs installed on ethernet cables and a set of exchangeable inserts that make it possible to exchange Cat 6A, Cat 7 or double-module jacks without retermination of conductors or retesting of electrical parameters.

VarioKeystone allows for the easy cable upgrade of the system to a different transmission standard, as well as the ability to combine two low-speed applications in a single module. Shielded Cat 6A and C7 TERA inserts can be installed in a cable plug previously terminated on a cable.

Installation is simple — just place the cross-shaped part of the insert into a cable plug and the mating rear cross-shaped section of the inserts prevents incorrect installation. Insertion and removal of inserts may be performed many times without loss of connection quality.

A tool is available for unplugging the inserts and a wide range of patch cords allows for channels operating at Category 7 using the TERA connector to 4-, 2- and even 1-pair RJ45 plug. The system can be used with other Molex Premise Networks products, including the Lightband Fibre Optic product range, ModLink plug-and-play systems and Vertical Rack Management system.
