Legrand RJ45 Socket Cat6 UTP Black — keystone network outlet, single-port

Legrand RJ45 Socket Cat6 UTP Black is a single-port keystone network outlet designed for Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair cabling. The compact female connector provides a termination point for Ethernet runs and fits standard keystone wall plates and patch panels. Its Cat6 performance rating supports network speeds and bandwidth typical for gigabit Ethernet within structured cabling installations in homes, offices, and small data closets.

Advantages

The keystone-format design allows simple snap-in installation into compatible plates and panels, reducing installation time and ensuring a neat finish. As an unshielded Cat6 outlet, it is optimized for UTP cabling systems where shielding is not required, offering reliable signal transmission up to Cat6 specifications. The black finish provides a discreet appearance for dark plates or installations where visible outlets should blend with interior design.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat6 UTP horizontal cabling runs in residential and commercial environments
• Installation in keystone-compatible wall plates and surface-mount boxes
• Use in patch panels, keystone patch bays, or modular faceplates
• Upgrading existing Cat5e outlets to Cat6 performance where cabling supports it

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 female keystone
• Cable category: Cat6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Ports: single-port
• Compatibility: standard keystone wall plates and patch panels
• Color: black finish
• Performance: supports Cat6 performance levels suitable for gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Terminate the Cat6 UTP cable onto the outlet’s IDC or punch-down contacts following the colour-code present on the module and using appropriate termination tools. After verifying correct wiring and continuity, snap the keystone jack into a compatible wall plate or patch panel opening until it locks in place. Once mounted, connect a standard RJ45 patch cable to the front port to link devices to the structured cabling network.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with Cat6-rated UTP cable and maintain proper cable management and bend-radius practices. Avoid running UTP cable parallel to electrical power lines to reduce interference. Test the installed link with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and Cat6 performance before finalizing the installation.
