Leviton 61SJK-RR6 Jack Ax1 C6 Shielded Red

Build a Reliable Cat6 Network with the Leviton Atlas-x1 Shielded Jack

The Leviton 61SJK-RR6 Jack Ax1 C6 Shielded Red is a shielded Category 6 keystone jack from the Atlas-x1 QuickPort line, designed for structured cabling installations in offices and data closets. It suits environments with nearby electrical interference. Key features include a die-cast zinc body with gold-plated copper alloy contacts and dual UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing for Canada and the US.

Key Features and Benefits of This Shielded Cat6 Jack

The shielded design helps block electromagnetic interference, which keeps data signals clean near motors, ballasts, or other wiring. Die-cast zinc construction with gold-plated copper alloy contacts resists corrosion and holds up to repeated plug-ins. Support for both T568A and T568B wiring lets installers match whichever standard the rest of the network already uses.

Where to Use the 61SJK-RR6 Jack

This jack suits commercial structured cabling runs, data closets, and multi-jack faceplates where Category 6 shielded performance is needed. The dark red housing helps installers visually separate circuits on crowded patch panels. It is not rated for outdoor or wet locations, so keep it to indoor data infrastructure.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

The 61SJK-RR6 snaps into standard QuickPort-compatible wall plates and patch panels. Because it is a shielded jack, the shield must be properly grounded for the shielding to work as intended. Confirm whether the existing network uses T568A or T568B before terminating, since this jack supports both.

Additional Buying Context

The jack carries UL certification for both Canada and the US plus UL 2043, a standard covering fire and smoke performance for air-handling spaces, and it is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. It is a good match for expanding or repairing an existing Atlas-x1 QuickPort faceplate system.
