Keystone Module ShiverPeaks S/CONN 08-10040 USB C Flat Black

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 08-10040 USB C Flat Black is a compact keystone module with a USB-C female connector designed for in-wall, patch panel, or surface-mount faceplate installations. Its flat profile and black finish provide a discreet, space-saving connection point for USB-C devices while matching darker installation environments. The module is intended to snap into standard keystone apertures for easy retrofit or new installations and offers a direct, fixed USB-C interface for data and power connections where cabling and device compatibility permit.

Advantages

This flat keystone module offers a standardized keystone form factor for simple installation into panels and faceplates. Its USB-C connector supports modern device interfaces and allows for a neat, low-profile termination point. The black finish reduces visual contrast in dark interiors and helps maintain a uniform appearance across connected outlets. The product's compact dimensions make it suitable where space behind the mounting surface is limited.

Suitable for

• Wall plates and surface-mount boxes with standard keystone openings
• Patch panels and custom enclosures requiring a USB-C outlet
• AV racks, meeting rooms, and workstations needing accessible USB-C connectivity
• Retrofit projects where a low-profile connector is required

When it may not be suitable

This module is a passive, mechanical keystone insert and does not include active electronics or signal conversion. It is not suitable where an integrated USB hub, power delivery negotiation electronics, or data conversion (e.g., USB to HDMI) is required. Compatibility depends on the cable and device used; very high-current power delivery or specialized alternate modes may exceed the capabilities of the installed cabling or connector wiring in some setups.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-C (female)
• Form factor: flat keystone module for standard keystone openings
• Color/finish: black
• Mounting: snaps into standard keystone faceplates, panels, and modules
• Application: provides a fixed USB-C interface for data and power over compatible cabling

How to use

Insert the module into a compatible keystone opening by aligning it with the aperture and snapping it into place until it locks. Route an appropriate USB-C cable or pigtail behind the mounting surface and attach it to the module’s rear connection according to the installation method used. Verify cable type and device requirements for data rates and power delivery before putting the connection into service. Test the connection with target devices to confirm functionality after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your wall plate or panel uses standard keystone openings compatible with flat keystone modules
• Confirm that the USB-C cable and downstream devices support the required data rates and power delivery
• Check available depth behind the mounting surface to accommodate the module and cable termination
• Decide whether a passive connector meets your needs or an active adapter or hub is required

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality, certified USB-C cables and verify power delivery requirements for connected devices. For installations that require specific USB Alternate Modes or high-wattage charging, validate the entire cabling and connector chain before deployment. Periodically check the connector for secure seating and signs of wear in high-traffic locations.
