B. CAT-6 modular jacks shall be 8 position, unkeyed,
1. Each jack shall be an individually constructed unit and shall snap mount in an
industry standard keystone opening (.760 inches x .580 inches).
2. Jack housings shall be high impact 94 V-0 rated thermoplastic.
3. Jack housings shall fully encase and protect printed circuit boards and IDC fields.
4. Modular jack contacts shall accept a minimum of 1000 mating cycles with 5.0 milliohm
(maximum) increase over initial with the use of an FCC compliant plug.
5. Modular jack contact wires shall be formed flat for increased surface contact with
mated plugs.
