CobiNet 124728 RJ45 Jack, Tool-Free Keystone Module, Cat.6A Shielded, 10G, PoE++

Network installers and IT technicians working in data centers, office buildings, and industrial environments need a reliable, high-performance RJ45 connection point that can handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet without complex termination tools. The CobiNet 124728 RJ45 jack is a shielded Cat.6A keystone module that snaps into standard faceplates, patch panels, or surface-mount boxes, delivering a tool-free IDC termination for solid or stranded wires AWG 22-24. Its die-cast zinc housing provides excellent shielding against EMI, while gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and long-term reliability. Whether you're setting up a new PoE++ access point, upgrading an existing network to 10GBASE-T, or building a structured cabling system, this module offers fast installation, reusability, and certified performance.

Why choose it

This keystone module combines tool-free convenience with industrial-grade durability. The die-cast zinc body provides 360° shielding, minimizing alien crosstalk and ensuring stable 10G performance even in high-density installations. The IDC termination allows for quick, reliable connections without special tools, and the module can be re-terminated up to five times, reducing waste and saving costs. Its support for 4PPoE means it can deliver up to 100W of power for devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras, LED lighting, or high-performance wireless access points. With gold-plated contacts and a robust design, it maintains signal integrity over thousands of insertions.

Ideal use cases

• Structured cabling in office buildings and data centers
• High-density patch panels and wall outlets
• PoE++ applications (security cameras, access points, digital signage)
• 10GBASE-T network upgrades
• Industrial Ethernet connections requiring EMI shielding

Good to know

Installation is straightforward: strip the cable, insert the wires into the color-coded IDC slots, and press the cap down—no punch-down tool needed. The module fits all standard keystone openings and is compatible with most faceplates and patch panels. For best performance, use Cat.6A shielded cable and ensure proper grounding of the shielded system. The module is rated for operating temperatures from -10°C to +60°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. It meets international standards for Cat.6A performance, so you can be confident in a future-proof network infrastructure.
