ACT CAT5E Keystone Jack unshielded tool-free RJ45 to IDC black network module

The ACT CAT5E Keystone Jack unshielded tool-free RJ45 to IDC black network module is a reliable network accessory designed to facilitate efficient Ethernet cabling and structured network installations. This black network module provides a secure connection between an RJ45 connector and an IDC termination interface, making it an essential component for both home and office networking environments. Engineered to meet standard performance requirements, it ensures stable signal transmission for everyday data network operations.

Advantages

This network module features a tool-free installation design that eliminates the need for a separate punch down tool during setup, saving time and simplifying the wiring process. Universal colour-coded labels for both T568A and T568B wiring schemes are clearly marked to ensure accurate and straightforward cable termination. Its compact construction allows it to fit seamlessly into standard 1U 24-port high-density keystone panels, making it highly adaptable for professional rack installations as well as wall outlets.

Suitable for

• Ethernet cabling in home networks
• Office structured network installations
• Patch panel integration
• Wall outlet installations
• Connecting RJ45 network devices using unshielded twisted pair cables

When it may not be suitable

This module may not be suitable for high-interference industrial environments that require shielded cabling to prevent electromagnetic interference. Additionally, it is designed specifically for CAT5E standards and may not support the higher bandwidth requirements of advanced high-speed network categories.

Key specifications

• CAT5E unshielded network module
• RJ45 straight female connector
• IDC straight female interface
• Tool-free termination design
• Colour-coded for T568A and T568B wiring schemes
• Compatible with 1U 24-port high-density keystone panels
• Colour: Black

How to use

To install the module, prepare the unshielded network cable by stripping the outer jacket and arranging the individual wires according to the colour-coded T568A or T568B label on the jack. Insert the wires into the appropriate IDC slots and snap the integrated cap closed to secure the connection without requiring a punch down tool. Once assembled, the keystone jack can be easily inserted into a compatible patch panel or wall outlet faceplate until it clicks securely into place.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network infrastructure utilizes CAT5E unshielded cabling to ensure compatibility
• Check if your mounting hardware, such as patch panels or wall faceplates, supports standard keystone modules
• Determine whether T568A or T568B wiring scheme is required for your network layout

Ensure cables are stripped carefully to the correct length and wires are properly aligned with the colour codes before closing the termination cap to guarantee optimal network performance and signal stability.
