Keystone jack A-LAN MKB-U6-1 — RJ45 U/UTP Cat6, 22/26 AWG, black/white ABS housing

The Keystone Module Alantec MKB-U6-1 is an unshielded UTP keystone RJ45 Cat.6 transmission jack intended for indoor horizontal and vertical data network installations. It accepts AWG 22–26 cables and supports wiring patterns 568A and 568B. The module uses an IDC (LSA) connection on a printed circuit board and is supplied as a single unit with a black-and-white colour scheme.

Advantages

The keystone module offers a toolless design for simple mounting in empty patch panels, wall boxes or floor outlets via universal attachments. Its IDC (LSA) termination provides reliable conductor contact for Cat.6 performance while accommodating a range of cable diameters (AWG 22–26). The compact keystone form factor ensures compatibility with standard keystone plates and panels.

Suitable for

• Building user outlets in homes and offices
• Populating empty patch panels and patch fields
• Vertical and horizontal structured cabling runs
• Retrofit installations where toolless mounting is preferred

How to use

Insert the keystone module into a compatible keystone opening in a patch panel, wall plate or floor box until it clicks into place. Strip the outer jacket of the network cable, separate pairs and insert individual conductors into the IDC slots according to the chosen 568A or 568B wiring scheme. Press the conductors into the IDC contacts using a suitable punch-down tool or the manufacturer’s toolless method if provided. Verify the connection and snap the module into the keystone frame or panel.

Recommendations

For reliable Cat.6 performance, use quality UTP cable of matching category and test each termination with a network cable tester after installation. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable during installation.
