ACT TD6024 Keystone Jack RJ45 CAT6 Unshielded Toolless with Shutter Black and White

The ACT TD6024 Keystone Jack RJ45 CAT6 Unshielded Toolless with Shutter Black and White is a reliable network accessory designed for structured cabling systems in residential and office environments. This unshielded CAT6 RJ45 keystone jack features a convenient toolless design and an integrated shutter for effective network cable management and dust protection. It ensures fast and secure data transmission while accommodating various installation setups.

Advantages

This keystone jack offers straightforward assembly through its toolless installation method, meaning no punch down tool is required during setup. The integrated dust cover or shutter protects the 50µ gold-plated contacts from dust and debris, maintaining connection quality over time. It supports high density keystone panels and handles high power delivery requirements efficiently. Clear colour-coding for both T568A and T568B wiring schemes simplifies the wiring process, while the included zip-tie provides reliable strain relief for cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting solid or stranded cables with an outer diameter of 5.5 to 9 mm and AWG 23 to 26
• High density keystone panels and wall outlets
• Standard patch panels in structured cabling systems
• Power over Ethernet applications up to 4PPoE 100W

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded keystone jack may not be suitable for environments requiring heavily shielded cabling to prevent electromagnetic interference. It is also not designed for cables with outer dimensions outside the specified 5.5 to 9 mm range or wire gauges outside the AWG 23 to 26 range.

Key specifications

• CAT6 unshielded performance
• RJ45 straight female and IDC straight female connectors
• Toolless installation design
• Integrated dust protection shutter
• Supports solid and stranded cables with 5.5 - 9 mm outer diameter and AWG 23 - 26
• Compatible with 4PPoE 100W power delivery
• 50µ gold-plated contacts
• Colour-coded for T568A and T568B wiring schemes
• Metal housing material
• Black and white colour scheme

How to use

Prepare the network cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors, ensuring the cable diameter falls within the 5.5 to 9 mm range and uses wire gauges between AWG 23 and 26. Align the wires according to the colour-coded T568A or T568B wiring schemes marked on the jack. Secure the wires into the IDC terminals using the toolless mechanism without needing a punch down tool. Apply the enclosed zip-tie for strain relief, and then snap the keystone jack into a compatible high density patch panel or wall outlet.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network cables match the supported outer diameter of 5.5 to 9 mm and wire gauge of AWG 23 to 26
• Check whether your network setup requires unshielded CAT6 components or shielded solutions
• Ensure compatibility with your existing patch panels or wall outlets

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance and longevity, ensure cables are properly secured with the provided strain relief zip-tie to prevent tension on the contacts, and keep the integrated shutter closed when the port is not in use to protect against dust accumulation.
