The Fastest, Highest Performing
Terminations. . . Every Time
Compared to all other RJ-45 products on the market today the Z-MAX™ termination process embraces
the principle that simpler is better. By establishing straight forward steps that eliminate potential er-
rors, Siemon has been able to set a new benchmark for UTP and shielded category 6A outlet termina-
tion speed and consistency.
10 Ways Z-MAX Ensures the
Highest Performance...Every time
1. Zero-CrossTM termination module accelerates wire placement and lacing
2. Intuitive design optimizes each step to eliminate errors that lead to delays
and rework
3. Rapid Z-TOOLTM-based termination eliminates variability that can
degrade performance
4. Easy wiring verification via color-coding on two surfaces
5. UTP and shielded outlets terminate in exactly the same way
While speed is vital, it is also essential for the quality of the system that the installer can terminate
with ease and consistency. The Z-MAX outlet was designed with the mind set that installers
shouldn’t have to spend too much time reading the instructions to get the job done. The intuitive
design of the Z-MAX outlet optimizes each step of the termination process to eliminate errors that
lead to delays and rework.
6. Common components and practices for both work area and
patching terminations
7. Zero-impact, one-hand termination with the Z-TOOL
8. No cutting blades or high-impact steps for safer terminations
9. Rapid insertion and removal from patch panels with the Quick-
Snap design
10. Quick-GroundTM technology automatically terminates cable shield
and grounds the outlet to the panel with no additional steps

14. Z-MAX 6A UTP System Features and Benefits
Z-MAX™ 6A UTP SYSTEM
Siemon’s Z-MAX 6A UTP solution was developed from the ground up with a single goal: shattering the limita-
tions of category 6A UTP cabling as we know it today. Combining patent-pending PCB-based smart plugs, op-
timized outlets, reduced diameter cable and high-density patch panels, the Z-MAX 6A UTP system provides
outstanding margin on all TIA and ISO performance requirements for category 6A/class EA, including critical
alien crosstalk parameters.
And, the innovative Z-TOOLTM termination process eliminates the variability of field terminations, providing
faster, more user-friendly and less-error-prone category 6A UTP installations.
Optimized For Alien
Crosstalk Elimination
Diagonal IDC alignment maximizes outlet
to outlet pair separation to achieve AXT
