HICON HI-C6XL-HD Connector Housing

HICON HI-C6XL-HD CAT.6a RJ45 Connector (Metal)

The HICON HI-C6XL-HD is a premium RJ45 connector designed to transform standard, fragile network cables into robust, stage-ready solutions. This connector features a massive metal housing that protects the internal contacts and latch from breaking.

This particular "XL-HD" model is specially designed for thick installation or outdoor cables (e.g., SC-MERCATOR CAT.7 PUR) with an outer diameter larger than standard office cables. The connector complies with the CAT.6a standard, supporting data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbit/s.
