Keystone RJ45 connector insert FX-RJ45-61 — keystone module insert for RJ45 network jacks

Keystone FX-RJ45-61 is a keystone-format RJ45 connector insert intended for installation in keystone wall plates, patch panels or surface-mount boxes. The module provides a standard RJ45 female interface in a keystone-sized opening, enabling termination and connection of Ethernet twisted-pair cables in keystone-compatible mounting systems. It is suitable for use in structured cabling where a modular keystone outlet is required.

Advantages

This keystone RJ45 insert offers a compact keystone form factor that fits common keystone openings and faceplates. It provides a standard RJ45 female interface for straightforward mating with patch cords and is designed for easy replacement or reconfiguration of wall plates and panels. The module simplifies field installations by allowing installers to populate keystone panels and plates with network jacks without custom faceplate machining.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Creating modular Ethernet outlets in keystone wall plates
• Populating patch panels with RJ45 ports in keystone-format frames
• Installing network jacks in surface-mount boxes with keystone openings
• Temporary or permanent network termination points in offices and server rooms

Key specifications

• Format: Keystone-module size compatible with standard keystone openings
• Interface: RJ45 female jack for 8P8C Ethernet connectors
• Cable type supported: Twisted-pair Ethernet cables (e.g., Cat5e/Cat6, subject to cable and installation quality)
• Mounting: Designed for keystone wall plates, keystone patch panels and surface-mount boxes
• Usage: Provides one RJ45 port per module

How to use

Insert the FX-RJ45-61 module into a compatible keystone opening in a wall plate, patch panel or surface-mount box until it snaps into place. Terminate the incoming Ethernet cable to the rear termination points of the module according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and ensure secure contact of all conductors. After termination, test the connection with a cable tester or a known-good patch cable to verify correct pairing and continuity. The module can be removed and replaced by disengaging it from the keystone opening when reconfiguration or maintenance is required.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cable management and strain relief when installing the module to maintain cable integrity. Confirm the category rating and quality of the attached Ethernet cable (Cat5e, Cat6, etc.) and perform post-installation testing to validate performance. Avoid excessive force when inserting or removing the module to prevent damage to the keystone clip or the faceplate.
