RJ45 keystone module TKH CCAS-K5E-UTP — Category 5e UTP insert for patch panels and wall plates

TKH RJ45 keystone module CCAS-K5E-UTP is a Category 5e unshielded (UTP) insert engineered for installation into standard keystone housings, wall plates and patch panels. The module provides a standard 8P8C RJ45 jack offering Cat5e performance intended for voice, data and Fast Ethernet links in offices, residential networks and small business installations. Its compact keystone form factor makes it compatible with common faceplates and patch panel cutouts while enabling simple field termination and quick replacement when needed.

Advantages

The keystone insert supports unshielded twisted-pair wiring and is designed to deliver reliable Cat5e connectivity up to Fast Ethernet speeds. The compact design ensures compatibility with most keystone-compatible faceplates and patch panels, allowing flexible deployment in structured cabling systems. The module's fixed jack and standardized mounting make installation and maintenance straightforward, reducing downtime during upgrades or reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Office workstations and cubicles requiring voice and data ports
• Residential network installations and home offices
• Small business network closets and simple patch panels
• Wall plate and surface-mount keystone faceplates

Key specifications

• Performance class: Category 5e (Cat5e) suitable for Fast Ethernet
• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Connector type: 8P8C RJ45 keystone jack
• Form factor: Standard keystone module for faceplates and patch panels
• Typical uses: Voice, data and Fast Ethernet links

How to use

Terminate the UTP cable conductors to the IDC or punch-down terminals on the rear of the keystone module following the correct wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and verify pair alignment. Insert the module into a compatible keystone opening on a wall plate or patch panel until it snaps into place. Connect patch cords to the front RJ45 jack to establish network links. Test the link with a cable tester to confirm connectivity and performance to Cat5e standards.

Usage recommendations

Use solid 4-pair Cat5e UTP cable for permanent horizontal runs and maintain correct wiring order and bend-radius to preserve signal integrity. Avoid routing near high-voltage power lines and shielded cabling unless appropriate grounding is provided. For reliable network performance, follow industry cabling standards and validate each connection with a certified tester after installation.
