The Panduit MPS588-C is a high-performance, shielded modular plug that meets ANSI/TIA-968-A requirements and exceeds IEC 60603-7 specifications. Designed for Category 5e applications, it incorporates a simplified termination process, gold-plated contacts for superior signal transmission, and a patented tangle-free latch for ease of use. This plug is ideal for use in zone cabling systems and provides a conductive path for grounding via its shielded housing. It is compatible with 24-26 AWG shielded cable and requires the MPT5-8A crimp tool for termination.
