Black Box GigaTrue2 CAT6 Keystone Jack - Unshielded, 110 Punchdown Type, TAA, Red, 25-Pack

Meet the Black Box GigaTrue2 CAT6 Keystone Jack, a purpose-built solution for fast, reliable network terminations. This unshielded CAT6 keystone jack is designed to pair perfectly with our GigaTrue CAT6 cables and to meet the demands of modern structured cabling. With compliance to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 CAT6 requirements and data transmission rates up to 250 MHz, it delivers the bandwidth needed for fast, dependable connectivity across offices, data centers, and high-density work environments. The jack is completely backward compatible with CAT5e, CAT5, and CAT3 components, enabling smooth upgrades without reworking existing infrastructure. Labeled with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, it eliminates guesswork at termination time and makes future migrations or cross-connects straightforward. The vivid red color helps technicians quickly identify port assignments in crowded racks, patch bays, and wall-plate installations. The keystone style enables a snap-in installation into standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures, keeping your cabling neat and organized while delivering solid mechanical stability. Built for consistent performance in real-world environments, the GigaTrue2 CAT6 keystone jack is a dependable building block for reliable, scalable networks that adapt as your technology needs evolve.

• High-performance bandwidth up to 250 MHz with backward compatibility to CAT5e and CAT5/3: This unshielded CAT6 keystone jack is designed to support current gigabit Ethernet speeds while leaving room for higher-speed equipment as networks evolve. The GigaTrue2 family prioritizes signal integrity, reducing crosstalk and maintaining balanced impedance across the channel, so you can deploy multiple keystone jacks on a single run without compromising performance. In busy data centers or multi-landing office installs, this jack helps sustain consistent throughput and reliable data delivery.
• Universal wiring labeled for both T568A and T568B schemes: Each jack is clearly marked with the two major wiring standards, allowing technicians to terminate quickly and accurately. This dual labeling reduces mis-wires during large installations and helps maintain consistency across floors or buildings. If your project requires a cross-connect or migration between standards, these jacks simplify the process and minimize downtime, ensuring that teams can coordinate port mappings with confidence.
• Keystone snap-in installation for fast, clean terminations: The keystone form factor gates into standard wall plates, patch panels, and faceplates, delivering a neat, professional finish. The 110 punchdown termination provides a secure, low-skew connection for Cat6 cables. Terminate with a compatible 110 punchdown tool, then snap the jack into place for a final, tidy installation that’s easy to modify later. The bright red color also aids quick identification during large-scale installations, reducing the chance of accidental re-termination.
• Backward compatibility and ease of upgrades: Because this jack works with CAT5e, CAT5, and CAT3 components, you can refresh portions of your network incrementally rather than overhauling entire runs. The red finish aids visual asset management, making port mapping and changes fast in busy data centers or network closets. The 25-pack solves multi-port deployments, reducing the need for frequent reorders as your project grows and you expand your topology.
• Durability and compliance for professional deployments: Built to meet TIA/EIA-568-C.2 CAT6 requirements and designed for consistent performance, these jacks are a trusted choice for office, business, or data center networks. The TAA-compliant design ensures government and defense procurement compatibility in relevant markets. With a robust form factor and easy-to-identify color, they simplify installation, testing, and ongoing maintenance in even high-density cable plants. This combination of reliability and compliance makes the GigaTrue2 CAT6 keystone jack ideal for long-term network planning.

How to install Black Box GigaTrue2 CAT6 Keystone Jack

• Plan your port layout and confirm compatibility with your wall plates or patch panels. Identify the correct locations and label mappings to streamline installation and future changes.
• Prepare the CAT6 cable by cutting to length and stripping the outer jacket without nicking the inner conductors. Maintain proper twist lengths to preserve performance and minimize crosstalk.
• Terminate the conductors using a 110 punchdown tool, following either the T568A or T568B scheme as required by your project documentation. Ensure each color-coded pair is seated securely in its corresponding slot to maintain signal integrity.
• Snap the terminated keystone jack into a standard keystone wall plate or patch panel slot until it clicks into place. Confirm a firm, flush fit to prevent loose connections that could degrade performance or cause intermittent failures.
• Test the port with a cable tester to verify continuity, correct pair ordering, and absence of open circuits or miswires. Address any issues before finalizing the installation to minimize troubleshooting later.
• Label the port for easy management and tidy cabling with zip ties or Velcro straps. Keep the cabling organized to simplify future upgrades, troubleshooting, or reconfigurations in dense network environments.
