Keystone Jack ROLINE Cat.6/Class E RJ-45 Shielded Toolless Silver

The ROLINE Cat.6/Class E Keystone Jack RJ-45 Shielded Toolless in silver is a shielded keystone connector for fast Ethernet and structured cabling installations. Designed for toolless termination, this keystone jack accommodates Cat6/Class E cabling and supports high data rates up to 10 Gbps. Its shielded design and metallic finish help reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintain signal integrity in environments with higher noise levels. The unit fits into standard keystone wall plates and patch panels and is intended for use in professional and residential network deployments.

Advantages

The shielded construction provides improved protection against EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded jacks, improving overall link performance. Toolless termination simplifies installation and reduces labor time by allowing conductors to be seated and secured without punch-down tools. The silver metallic finish offers durable corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that integrates with standard networking faceplates. Compatibility with Cat6/Class E cabling ensures support for gigabit and multi-gigabit network applications.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and commercial buildings
• Home network outlets and wall plates
• Patch panels in telecommunications rooms
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 / Class E performance
• Connector type: RJ-45 keystone jack, shielded
• Installation: Toolless termination for 8P8C twisted-pair cables
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (within standard channel limits)
• Compatibility: Fits standard keystone wall plates and patch panels
• Colour/finish: Silver metallic, shielded housing

How to use

Prepare the twisted-pair cable by removing the outer jacket to expose the conductors to the required length. Align individual conductors according to the colour code printed on the keystone jack, then insert each conductor into its corresponding slot. Secure the conductors following the jack’s built-in retention mechanism—no punch-down tool is required. Once terminated, snap the keystone jack into a compatible wall plate or patch panel until it clicks into place. Test the finished connection with appropriate network testing equipment to verify continuity and performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use Category 6/Class E cabling and maintain proper cable bend radius and separation from power sources. When installing in areas with high EMI, ensure the system grounding and shield termination follow local cabling standards. Verify channel performance after installation with a certified tester if operating near the upper frequency or data-rate limits.
