Alantec Keystone RJ12 module (6P4C) Category 3 — MK007

The Alantec Keystone RJ12 module (6P4C) Category 3 — MK007 is a compact keystone insert designed for installation in keystone wall plates and patch panels. It provides a single 6-position, 4-conductor RJ12 jack suitable for basic telephone and low-speed data connections over Category 3 cabling. The module is intended for residential and office telephony, PBX trunks and extensions, and simple voice/data patching where Category 3 performance meets requirements.

Advantages

This keystone module offers a space-saving footprint compatible with standard keystone openings, enabling quick replacement or expansion of telephone outlets without altering faceplates. Its Category 3-rated contact arrangement is appropriate for legacy telephony and low-bandwidth data lines, and the 6P4C RJ12 form factor ensures compatibility with common telephone cords and PBX equipment. The unit’s modular design simplifies on-site changes and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Residential telephone outlets and wall jacks
• Office PBX extensions and analog phone lines
• Patch panels that accept keystone inserts for voice wiring
• Low-speed data links and control circuits using Category 3 cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ12, 6 positions, 4 conductors (6P4C)
• Cable category compatibility: Category 3
• Form factor: Keystone module for keystone wall plates and patch panels

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible keystone opening on a wall plate or patch panel until it snaps into place. Terminate incoming Category 3 cable conductors to the rear contacts following the outlet’s color code or site wiring scheme, then secure the cable and verify continuity. Plug standard RJ12 cords into the front jack to connect telephones, fax machines or PBX equipment. For removal, depress the retaining tab and pull the module out of the keystone opening.

Usage recommendations

Use this module where Category 3 cabling is already installed or where low-bandwidth voice and control circuits are required. For new installations requiring higher data rates, consider using Category 5e or higher keystone modules and cabling. Ensure proper wire termination and strain relief to maintain reliable connections in telephony environments.
