Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone building or expanding Ethernet networks, offering a reliable solution for terminating network cables. The key benefit is simplified installation with clear wiring guides. A potential caveat is that it requires a separate IDC punch-down tool for proper termination. This keystone jack module is designed for CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 cables, featuring UTP wiring support for both 568A and 568B standards, ensuring compatibility with standard network installations.

FAQs

What type of cables does this keystone jack module support?

This module supports CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 Ethernet cables.

Do I need to solder the wires?

No, this module uses non-soldered crimping and requires an IDC punch down tool for termination. No soldering is necessary.

What are the wiring standards supported?

It supports both the 568A and 568B wiring standards, with instructions clearly marked on the connector.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need an IDC punch down tool to terminate the wires into the jack. A cable stripper may also be useful.

Can I use this with any wall plate?

Yes, this is a standard keystone jack module and is designed to fit into any standard keystone wall plate or patch panel.

Is this for a single network port?

Yes, this product listing is for one keystone jack module only. You can purchase multiple units if you need to create several network ports.

Troubleshooting

No network connection after installation

Verify that all wires are correctly seated in their respective color-coded slots and have been properly punched down. Double-check that the wiring standard (568A or 568B) used on both ends of the cable run is consistent.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connectivity

Ensure the cable jacket is fully seated within the jack and that pairs are not over-untwisted. Check that the IDC punch down tool was used correctly to ensure a solid connection. Inspect the cable for damage.

Difficulty punching down wires

Make sure you are using a compatible IDC punch down tool and that it is oriented correctly. Ensure the wires are properly aligned with the slots before using the tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports popular Ethernet cable categories (CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6).
  • Flexible installation with support for both 568A and 568B wiring standards.
  • Clear, printed wiring instructions reduce installation errors.
  • Non-soldered connection simplifies termination, especially in tight spaces.
  • Standard keystone form factor ensures compatibility with most wall plates and patch panels.

Cons

  • Requires a separate IDC punch down tool for termination.
  • Module is sold individually, requiring multiple purchases for full installations.
  • Does not include patch panel or wall plate, these must be sourced separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Identify the wiring standard (568A or 568B) required for your network.
  2. Strip approximately 1 inch of the outer jacket from the Ethernet cable.
  3. Separate the twisted pairs and untwist them as little as possible.
  4. Feed the individual wires into the corresponding color-coded slots on the keystone jack module, referencing the wiring diagram on the connector.
  5. Using an IDC punch down tool, firmly seat each wire into its slot. The tool will cut off the excess wire.
  6. Once all wires are terminated, snap the module into a compatible keystone wall plate or patch panel.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard keystone wall plates and patch panels.
  • Supports solid and stranded conductor Ethernet cables for CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6.

Care:

  • Keep the module clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Avoid exposing the module to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
