Siemon launches new Z-MAX® 45
Category 6A shielded outlet
/////////////////////////////
outlets, Z-MAX 45’s hybrid design supports
both flat and angled mounting orientations.
Unlike true 90-degree side entry outlets,
Z-MAX 45 also enables side stacking for high-
density applications, whilst the plastic bezels
prevent contact between metal housings for
superior alien crosstalk performance. The
innovative linear lacing features combined
with the termination tool offers best-in-class
termination time whilst significantly reducing
installation variability for consistent,
repeatable performance.
THE Z-MAX 45 IS
THE OPTIMAL 6A
SOLUTION FOR
TIGHT WORK AREA
LOCATIONS WHERE
CABLE BEND RADIUS
IS A CONCERN.

S
iemon, a leading global network
infrastructure specialist, has
announced its new Z-MAX 45 shielded
Category 6A outlet which features a shorter,
compact design with the ability to terminate
cable at a 45-degree angle, reducing rear
depth requirements whilst maintaining
proper bend radius.
Z-MAX 45 outlets use a reversible rear cap that
enables cable to exit the outlet at a 45-degree
angle to accommodate shallow back boxes
and wall-mounted raceway applications.
With 40% less depth compared to standard
“Siemon’s new Z-MAX 45 shielded outlets
exceed all Category 6A performance
requirements and feature the same
advanced performance, superior quality and
fast termination our customers have come
to appreciate with Siemon’s existing Z-MAX
outlets,” says Lee Funnell, Head of Technical
Services Group, Europe, Russia & Africa at
Siemon. “The Z-MAX 45 is the optimal 6A
solution for tight work area locations where
cable bend radius is a concern.”
The Z-MAX 45 outlet can be terminated to
stranded and solid cable types from 22 to 26
AWG. In addition to a high level of shielded
effectiveness for superior performance, the
outlets also feature Siemon’s patented
crowned jack geometry, the industry’s most
reliable jack-plug connection for support
of the latest PoE applications. Crowned
jack geometry improves electrical and
mechanical performance and ensures that
any contact damage caused by arcing while
unmating under PoE load occurs well away
from the final mated contact position. n
