Network keystone RJ45 UTP Cat.5e black MONTIS MT167 — single-port modular connector

Keystone RJ45 UTP Cat.5e connector by MONTIS, model MT167, is a single-port modular insert designed for UTP Cat.5e Ethernet cabling. The black modular connector provides a compact, replaceable RJ45 termination suitable for structured cabling in wall plates, patch panels and keystone housings. It supports data and voice networks up to Category 5e performance and fits standard keystone openings for simple installation and serviceability.

Advantages

The MONTIS RJ45 keystone offers a standardized single-port solution that simplifies cable terminations and replacements without the need to modify faceplates or panels. Its Cat.5e UTP design delivers reliable performance for typical Ethernet and telephony links, while the compact form factor conserves space in crowded keystone panels. The black finish allows unobtrusive integration with darker wall plates and rack components.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and residential buildings
• Wall plates and faceplates with keystone openings
• Small patch panels and modular keystone housings
• Upgrading or replacing individual RJ45 ports without rewiring

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Performance category: Cat.5e
• Port count: single RJ45 port
• Color: black
• Mounting: standard keystone snap-in format for wall plates and patch panels
• Use case: data and voice networking up to Cat.5e electrical characteristics

How to use

Terminate the UTP cable onto the keystone connector according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), ensuring correct pair alignment and solid conductor insertion. After termination, snap the keystone into a compatible wall plate, faceplate or patch panel opening until it locks in place. Connect patch cords or devices to the RJ45 port as required. For replacement, depress the retention tab and remove the module from the keystone opening, then install the new module following the same steps.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cable preparation tools and follow industry wiring standards to maintain Cat.5e performance. Avoid excessive cable bending near the termination point and ensure good cable management in panels and behind faceplates to preserve signal quality and ease future maintenance.
