Prise Keystone ACT CAT5E non blindée à insertion blanche TD5015

The ACT CAT5E Keystone Jack is an unshielded punch-down connector designed for reliable Ethernet network connections. It combines an RJ45 port with an IDC punch-down interface to terminate CAT5e cables quickly and maintain consistent data transmission. The white plastic housing blends into patch panels, wall plates, and keystone faceplates, providing a discreet and professional appearance for residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

This keystone jack supports CAT5e performance parameters for typical 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networks when properly installed, enabling dependable data transfer for everyday networking needs. The unshielded design simplifies handling and reduces cost for environments where additional EMI protection is not required. The IDC termination reduces the need for soldering or crimping tools and helps ensure consistent pair alignment and secure connections. The standard RJ45 jack provides compatibility with common Ethernet cables and modules.

Suitable for

• Home network wall plates and patch panels
• Small office and SOHO structured cabling
• Data outlet installations for desktops, printers and IP phones
• Retrofit or new-build keystone panels and faceplates

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5e unshielded keystone jack
• Connector types: RJ45 female port and IDC punch-down contacts
• Number of ports: single port module
• Termination method: 110/IDC punch-down
• Color: white plastic housing
• Mounting format: keystone compatible for standard wall plates and patch panels
• Cable compatibility: 4-pair UTP/CAT5e twisted pair cable

How to use

Prepare the CAT5e cable by stripping the outer sheath to expose the four twisted pairs and untwist each pair only as much as needed for termination. Follow the color code printed on the keystone jack to arrange wire pairs into the IDC slots, then use a punch-down tool to seat each conductor firmly into the IDC contacts. Trim any excess wire flush with the housing. Snap the keystone jack into a compatible wall plate or patch panel until it locks into place, and test the terminated link with a network tester to verify continuity and pair integrity.

Recommendations

Use this unshielded CAT5e keystone jack in environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal; for areas with higher EMI or when running cables near electrical equipment, consider a shielded alternative. Always follow structured cabling best practices: maintain proper bend radius, separate power and data runs, and test each connection after installation to ensure reliable network performance.
