Aginode Essential-6 unscreened Cat 6 connector

We are pleased to announce the launch of our upgraded Essential-6 unscreened connector. The re-engineered design delivers improved electrical performance whilst keeping the mechanical and dimensional characteristics of its predecessor.

The new connector features a modified wire organiser with different colour coding in the wire map and offers the same ease of installation as the previous model.
