Keystone RJ45 Cat 6A connector ShiverPeaks BS08-10002-2 toolless, pack of 2

The ShiverPeaks Keystone RJ45 Cat 6A connector BS08-10002-2 is a toolless keystone module supplied as a pack of two, designed for terminating Cat 6A network cabling without punch-down tools. It provides a compact RJ45 outlet that fits standard keystone wall plates, patch panels and keystone housings. The connector supports 10 Gigabit-capable copper cabling and is intended for environments where quick, reliable, tool-free terminations are required during installation or reconfiguration.

Advantages

This toolless keystone connector simplifies installation by eliminating the need for specialized punch-down tools, reducing installation time and training requirements. The module is compatible with standard keystone openings, allowing straightforward integration into wall plates and patch panels. Supplied as a pack of two, it supports small-scale deployments and replacements without excess packaging. The design maintains the signal integrity expected from Cat 6A components when installed according to cabling best practices.

Suitable for

• Terminating Cat 6A patch cables in offices and data rooms
• Upgrading legacy keystone plates to 10 Gigabit-capable outlets
• Quick replacements and field terminations without punch-down tools
• Use in keystone-compatible wall plates, surface boxes and patch panels

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A (10 Gigabit-capable)
• Connector type: RJ45 keystone module, toolless termination
• Compatibility: Standard keystone openings in wall plates, patch panels and housings
• Pack quantity: 2 modules
• Termination method: Insulation displacement / IDC-style, tool-free
• Use: Copper twisted-pair network cabling

How to use

Prepare the Cat 6A cable by trimming the outer sheath to the length recommended by the module manufacturer, untwisting pairs only as required by the termination point. Insert the conductors into the color-coded slots of the toolless IDC termination according to the chosen wiring standard (TIA/EIA 568A or 568B). Press the cable into the module's IDC until it seats securely; the design locks the conductors in place without a punch-down tool. Snap the keystone module into a compatible wall plate, surface box or patch panel opening. Test the terminated connection with a network tester to verify continuity and performance.

Usage recommendations

Use a consistent wiring standard across the installation, maintain pair twist as close to the termination as possible, and avoid excessive cable bending or strain at the termination point. For best performance with Cat 6A links, follow channel length limits, use compatible Cat 6A patch cords and routinely verify connections with certified testing equipment.
