DIGITUS CAT 6 Keystone Jack, Unshielded (UTP), White

The DIGITUS CAT 6 Keystone Jack, unshielded (UTP), is a high-performance, tool-free keystone jack designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. It supports Category 6 performance, ensuring bandwidth up to 250 MHz and is backward compatible with lower categories. The jack is color-coded for T568A and T568B wiring standards, making installation straightforward. With gold-plated contacts and robust ABS housing, it offers durability and consistent signal integrity. Ideal for use in patch panels, faceplates, and surface mount boxes, this keystone jack is a versatile solution for network installations.

Advantages

Tool-free termination saves installation time and reduces the need for specialized tools. The unshielded design is cost-effective and suitable for most office and home environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. Gold-plated contacts (3µm) ensure reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance. The jack supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards including IEEE 802.3af/at/bt, making it suitable for powering devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points.
