Keystone Jack: The Core Component for Reliable Network Connections

In structured cabling systems, the keystone jack plays a vital role in ensuring stable and high-speed data transmission. Whether used in offices, data centers, or residential networks, a high-quality RJ45 keystone jack guarantees long-term performance, easy installation, and consistent connectivity.
As an OEM manufacturer and supplier, GETEKnet provides a full range of Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a keystone jacks, available in both shielded and unshielded designs to meet various cabling standards and installation needs.

Types of Keystone Jacks

To meet the diverse needs of modern network environments, GETEKnet offers several types of keystone jacks:

• Cat5e Keystone Jack – Designed for up to 100 MHz bandwidth, suitable for basic LAN and office connections.

• Cat6 Keystone Jack – Supports 250 MHz bandwidth and gigabit transmission, ideal for professional data networks.

• Cat6a Keystone Jack – Enhanced to 500 MHz, ensuring 10G performance in data center applications.

• Jack Keystone schermato – Equipped with metal shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).

• Unshielded Keystone Jack – Lightweight and cost-effective for low-interference environments.

• Tool-less Keystone Jack – Simplifies installation by eliminating the need for punch-down tools.

Each model ensures precise IDC termination, gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance, and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568 standard.

Material and Design Advantages

A high-quality RJ45 keystone jack must combine durable materials with precise structure.
GETEKnet’s keystone jacks use phosphor bronze IDC contacts with gold plating（up to 50μ）for excellent conductivity and long lifespan. The housing is made from high-temperature PC or ABS, resistant to heat and impact during installation.
Both 90° type and 180° type orientations are available to suit different patch panel layouts and wall plates.

Compatibility and Installation

Keystone jacks are widely compatible with:

• Wall plates e faceplates

• Patch panels for rack systems

• Surface mount boxes

• Network cabinets e data center panels

Installation follows a simple process: strip the cable, insert wires per color code (T568A or T568B), terminate with a punch-down tool or push-fit design, then snap the jack into its holder.
This standardized system allows quick assembly, maintenance, and scalability across large network infrastructures.

With advanced automated assembly lines, GETEKnet ensures high monthly output, stable quality, e strict quality control (QC) at every stage — from raw materials to final testing.
