Keystone Jack ACT CAT6 neecranat punch down negru TD6014

The ACT CAT6 Keystone Jack is an unshielded punch-down connector engineered to provide reliable RJ45 terminations for structured cabling systems. Designed for CAT6 performance, this keystone jack supports high-speed Ethernet links while fitting standard keystone wall plates and patch panels. The black housing offers a neutral, low-visibility appearance for installations in offices, server rooms, or residential environments, while the IDC punch-down interface simplifies cable termination without the need for additional tools beyond a punch-down tool.

Advantages

This unshielded keystone jack delivers consistent CAT6 electrical performance for Gigabit and higher network environments where shielded cabling is not required. The integrated IDC termination points accept 22–26 AWG solid conductors and provide secure connections that reduce untwisting and maintain signal integrity. The compact keystone form factor ensures compatibility with common faceplates and patch panels, and the black finish helps conceal ports in visible installations.

Suitable for

• Horizontal and vertical structured cabling installations in homes and offices
• Wall plate terminations for Ethernet outlets
• Punch-down termination on keystone patch panels and modular faceplates
• CAT6 horizontal runs supporting Gigabit Ethernet and PoE applications

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6 unshielded keystone jack

• Contact performance: designed for 1000BASE-T and suitable for higher-speed LANs within CAT6 limits
• Compatible conductor gauge: typically 22–26 AWG solid copper
• Termination method: 110/IDC punch-down style
• Housing color: black
• Form factor: standard keystone for faceplate and patch panel mounting

How to use

Strip the cable jacket back to expose the twisted pairs, keeping pair twists as intact as possible. Position each conductor into the corresponding IDC slot following the color-coding printed on the jack. Use a standard punch-down tool to seat and trim the conductors in one motion. After termination, test the connection with a network cable tester to verify continuity and wiring order. Snap the keystone module into a compatible faceplate or patch panel opening for final installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use solid CAT6-rated cabling and avoid exceeding recommended bend radius near the termination. Ensure proper cable management and strain relief to prevent mechanical stress on the IDC contacts. Test each port after installation to confirm signal integrity and compatibility with your network equipment.
