Procab Keystone Cat6 Jack IDC Termination 180° Shielded, punchdown keystone module

The Procab Keystone Cat6 Jack IDC Termination 180° Shielded is a keystone module engineered for structured Ethernet cabling that requires Cat6 performance and enhanced electromagnetic interference protection. This shielded keystone jack features insulation displacement contact (IDC) termination and a 180° orientation to simplify cable routing in patch panels, wall plates or surface-mount boxes. The metal shielding and Cat6-rated contact design support reliable high-speed data transmission in professional network environments.

Advantages

This shielded keystone Cat6 jack offers consistent Cat6 connectivity with IDC termination that speeds up installation and reduces the need for separate punchdown connectors. The 180° orientation enables neat cable management in dense racks and shallow enclosures. Metal shielding protects the connector from external EMI and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electrical noise. The module is compatible with standard keystone ports for flexible use in patch panels and wall plates.

Suitable for

• Structured copper networking in offices and commercial buildings
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment
• Wall plates and surface-mount boxes for workspace outlets
• Data closets and environments with potential electromagnetic interference

How to use

Strip the cable jacket and position individual pairs according to the colour code printed on the module. Place each conductor into the corresponding IDC slot, then use an appropriate punchdown tool to terminate and trim the wires. Ensure the cable shield is properly terminated to the module housing if using screened cable. After termination, snap the keystone module into the chosen wall plate or patch panel port and secure the panel or plate in place.

Usage recommendations

Use a quality punchdown tool to achieve reliable IDC connections and avoid damaging conductors. For shielded installations, ensure continuity of the cable shield to the module housing and grounding system. Test each terminated link with a Cat6-compatible cable tester to verify wiring, continuity and performance before placing the network into service.
