Product Information

Full details

This guide is for network installers and IT professionals seeking a reliable Cat6 keystone module. The key benefit is its color-coded IDC termination for simplified, error-free connections with solid core Cat6 cables, while also offering backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5. A caveat is its specific compatibility with certain wall plates, requiring verification before purchase.

FAQs

What type of cable is this keystone module designed for?

This module is perfect for connecting solid core Cat6 cables and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 cables.

What wall plates are compatible with this module?

This module is only compatible with the Single QS wall plate (009148) and the Double QS wall plate (009149).

How does the color-coded IDC termination help?

The IDC termination block is marked with colors corresponding to the standard wire pairs, making it easier and quicker to punch down wires correctly, reducing installation errors.

Can I use this module with stranded Cat6 cables?

While it may work, this module is primarily designed and optimized for solid core Cat6 cables. Using stranded cable might affect performance and reliability.

What is the 'flat' construction type?

The 'flat' construction refers to the low profile design of the module, which allows it to fit neatly into wall plates without protruding significantly.

Does this module support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

This keystone module is designed for data transmission. While it may pass PoE signals, it is not specifically rated or designed for high-power PoE applications. Consult the specific PoE device and network requirements.

How many modules are included in a pack?

Each pack contains one (1 pc(s)) keystone module.

Troubleshooting

No network connection after installation

Verify that all 8 conductors are correctly punched down into the IDC slots according to the wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Ensure the cable is fully seated and the connection is secure. Check the other end of the cable for proper termination.

Slow network speeds or intermittent connection

Re-inspect the punch-down connections for any loose wires or improperly seated conductors. Ensure the cable pairs are not untwisted excessively before termination. Confirm that the cable used is indeed Cat6 and not damaged.

Module does not fit into the wall plate

Confirm that you are using a compatible wall plate (Single QS: 009148 or Double QS: 009149). This module is not designed for universal keystone wall plates.

Color coding is confusing

Refer to a standard T568A or T568B wiring diagram. The IDC terminals are usually labeled with the corresponding colors to simplify the process. Ensure you consistently use one standard throughout your installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports Cat6 speeds for optimal network performance.
  • Easy installation due to color-coded termination.
  • Backward compatible with older cable standards.
  • Includes a label holder for clear port identification.
  • Compact and flat design for tidy installations.

Cons

  • Requires specific wall plate compatibility (Single QS: 009148, Double QS: 009149).
  • Only one module is included per pack, potentially requiring multiple purchases.
  • Primarily designed for solid core cables, may not be ideal for stranded.
  • Color-coded system can be less intuitive for those unfamiliar with T568A/B standards.
  • No additional accessories like dust caps included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Cat6 solid core cable by stripping the outer jacket.
  2. Separate the twisted pairs and arrange the individual conductors according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard, referencing the color codes on the IDC termination block.
  3. Insert each conductor into its corresponding slot on the IDC connector.
  4. Use an appropriate punch-down tool to firmly seat each wire into the IDC connector, ensuring a secure connection and cutting off any excess wire.
  5. Snap the keystone module into a compatible wall plate or patch panel.

Compatibility:

This module is specifically designed to be compatible with the following wall plates:

  • Single QS: 009148
  • Double QS: 009149

Ensure you are using these specific wall plates for proper integration. It supports solid core Cat6, Cat5e, and Cat5 cables.

Care:

  • Keep the module clean and free from dust and debris.
  • Avoid exposing the module to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • When cleaning the surrounding area, use a dry or slightly damp cloth, ensuring no liquid enters the connector.
