Siemon launches new Z-MAX 45
Category 6A shielded outlet with
45-degree angle termination

iemon has launched 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 while 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 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, while 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 while significantly reducing
installation variability for consistent,
repeatable performance.
“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,” said Prem Rodrigues,
director of sales and marketing for Middle
East, India and SAARC at Siemon. “The
Z-MAX 45 is the optimal 6A solution for
tight work area locations where cable bend
radius is a concern.”
The new 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
Z-MAX 45 ALSO ENABLES SIDE STACKING
FOR HIGH DENSITY APPLICATIONS,
WHILE THE PLASTIC BEZELS PREVENT
CONTACT BETWEEN METAL HOUSINGS
FOR SUPERIOR ALIEN CROSSTALK
PERFORMANCE.
