558 (BOXED)

3M's 558 (BOXED) represents the next evolution in Terminals - Wire Splice Connectors technology, optimized for 5G infrastructure and telecom applications. This precision-engineered solution addresses the growing demand for high-speed data transmission with minimal insertion loss across its operating range.The Inline, Tap (Suitcase) architecture enables parallel wire management in space-constrained installations. When deployed in base station equipment, its low-profile design reduces cabinet footprint by up to 25% compared to conventional solutions.Configured with 2 access ports, this terminal facilitates rapid field servicing without compromising connection integrity. Network technicians benefit from its tool-less reconfiguration capabilities.Utilizing IDC technology, the connector maintains stable contact resistance below 5m throughout its service life. This exceeds TIA-968-B requirements for central office equipment.Compatible with 16-22 AWG conductors, the 590DC-CDG supports hybrid fiber-copper networks. Its broad compatibility range simplifies inventory management for telecom operators.The Fully Insulated system incorporates halogen-free materials meeting IEC 60754-1 standards. This makes the connector suitable for plenum-rated installations where smoke emission is a concern.Engineered with Flame Retardant, Hinged Lid(s), this connector series demonstrates exceptional RF shielding effectiveness. Independent testing verified 90dB attenuation at 6GHz, making it ideal for mmWave applications.Red identification markers comply with ANSI/TIA-606-C labeling standards. The high-contrast coloration improves traceability in dense network racks by 60%.
