InLine RJ45 Keystone Jack Snap-In Module Cat.6a Flat Grey with Red Dust Cover

The InLine RJ45 Keystone Jack Snap-In Module Cat.6a Flat Grey with Red Dust Cover is a professional network component designed for high-speed Ethernet installations. Engineered to support transmission speeds up to 10GBase-T and operating frequencies up to 500 MHz, this Cat.6a module ensures reliable and efficient data transfer for demanding networking environments. Its fully shielded zinc alloy housing protects against electromagnetic interference, while the flat grey construction integrates neatly into standard structured cabling setups. An included red dust cover safeguards the RJ-45 connector from dirt and debris when not in use, helping to maintain optimal connection quality over time.

Advantages

This Keystone module offers robust performance through its fully shielded zinc alloy housing, which minimizes signal interference in crowded network cabinets. The LSA mount allows for secure and stable cable termination, accommodating a wide range of cable gauges from 22AWG to 26AWG. Support for Power over Ethernet standards such as PoE and PoE+ makes it versatile for powering network devices like IP cameras and access points directly through the data cable. Furthermore, the integrated red dust cover provides practical physical protection, extending the lifespan of the connector contacts.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations in offices and homes
• Connecting network equipment in 19-inch empty patch panels
• Wall boxes designed for Keystone applications
• High-speed local area networks requiring 10GBase-T performance
• Deployments utilizing Power over Ethernet devices

When it may not be suitable

This module may not be appropriate for cables with outer diameters outside the 5.0 mm to 8.5 mm range, as the housing and cable clamp are specifically dimensioned for this interval. It is also unsuitable for non-standard mounting systems that do not accept the standard Keystone snap-in footprint.

• Supports 10GBase-T network speeds
• Fully shielded zinc alloy housing
• Equipped with LSA mount
• Compatible with cable sizes 22AWG to 26AWG
• Compatible with outer cable diameters from 5.0 mm to 8.5 mm
• Supports PoE and PoE+
• Flat grey design with a red dust cover
• RJ-45 connector

How to use

Prepare the network cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the individual conductors, ensuring the overall shield is properly exposed for contact with the zinc alloy housing. Terminate the wires into the LSA block according to the designated color coding scheme, usually following T568A or T568B standards. Once all conductors are securely punched down, snap the module into a compatible Keystone opening, such as a 19-inch empty patch panel or wall box. Ensure the module is firmly clicked into place before inserting your network patch cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your patch panels or wall outlets support the standard Keystone snap-in format
• Check that your installation cables fall within the supported 22AWG to 26AWG gauge range
• Ensure the outer diameter of your cable measures between 5.0 mm and 8.5 mm
• Confirm whether PoE support is required for your connected network devices

Usage recommendations: Handle the LSA termination carefully with a proper punch-down tool to avoid damaging the internal conductors. Keep the red dust cover closed whenever the port is unoccupied to prevent dust accumulation.
