IDEAL keystone jacks are high performance modular jack connectors designed to exceed the CAT6 requirements of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 giving installers the ability to use these products in residential and commercial installations for applications such as Gigabit Ethernet. All jacks feature a robust internal printed circuit board design used to help reduce NEXT (near-end cross talk) and improve RF performance at higher frequencies. The IDC tower design and layout help to simplify and speed up the wiring and termination process. Tapered tower tops help to separate each pair into the individual IDC slot without the need to untwist each pair. This allows pairs to easily maintain the recommended maximum of 1/2 in of untwisting per pair from the cable jacket. Twisted pairs stay together. With the PCB design, each color pair is terminated side by side, in a consistent pattern. Less time spent untwisting, separating and routing individual conductors to the IDC contacts.
- Jacks have both 568A and 568B wiring diagrams and pin outs pre-labeled at each IDC location
- The IDEAL keystone jacks have an industry standard profile interface and latch location so they are compatible with many other keystone style sized panels racks and plates
- Cable types: 8 conductor UTP copper cables 22-24 AWG (CAT5e/CAT6)
- Max cable OD 0.260 in
- Termination tool: 110 punch down
- Contact finish: 50 micron gold over 50 micron nickel
- 250 MHz 1GB performance
- Certifications mating and standards: UL listed, ANSI TIA-568-C-2, ISO IEC 11801 class D(CAT5e) (CAT6) FCC part 68 compliant; RoHS compliant

Recently purchased a 10 pack to finish a project. When I went to install them I discovered what was in the package were CAT5E connectors. gladly refunded my money, but I lost a days work having to return them. I found another package on the rack the was marked CAT6, but the connectors were actually CAT5E.
