Cat5e Tool-less Keystone Jack

The EN-Labs Cat5e keystone jack is an 8P8C RJ-45 connector rated for Category 5e UTP networks. It uses insulation-displacement contacts that accept solid or stranded conductors from 22 to 26 AWG. The white polycarbonate housing snaps into standard keystone wall plates, surface-mount boxes and blank patch panels. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal quality.

Installers needing quick termination without

This jack suits technicians and DIY installers who want to terminate cables by inserting wires into the colour-coded IDC slots and closing the lid. The integrated TIA-568A and 568B wiring diagrams on the lid guide pair placement for either standard. It is not for jobs that require shielded connectors, Category 6 or higher performance, or outdoor-rated housings.

Tool-less IDC termination with lid closure

Installation is performed by stripping the cable, seating each conductor in the labelled slots following the 568A or 568B diagram, and pressing the lid until it clicks. No crimping or punch-down tool is needed. Common issues include wires not fully seated before the lid is closed, mixing the two wiring standards on a single link, or using conductors outside the 22 to 26 AWG range.

Simply insert the leads following the color coding, and press down the lid. 568A and 568B color wiring diagram is integrated on the lid for easy installation. The modular plugs are manufactured from high-impact clear poly-carbonate to withstand everyday wear and tear. You can except error-free data transfers. CAT5e rated connector provide excellent performance for data networks requiring maximum speed and bandwidth

Questions about this item

What gauge solid-core cable must I already have to terminate this keystone jack?

The IDC terminals accept solid conductors from 22 to 26 AWG, so you need cable within that range.

Will this Cat5e jack work in a wall plate that already holds older Cat5 or Cat3 modules?

Yes, it is backwards compatible with all lower-rated category components and fits standard keystone openings.

How can I verify the jack is wired correctly after I snap the lid shut?

The integrated TIA-568A/B color diagram on the lid lets you confirm each conductor matches the chosen wiring standard before closing.
