Cat6 Punchdown Keystone Module

This Panduit NetKey Cat6 punchdown keystone jack module terminates 4-pair twisted pair cable from 22 to 26 AWG. It fits standard keystone faceplates, patch panels and surface mount boxes. Each unit is 100 percent factory tested to exceed Category 6 performance requirements. Contacts carry 50 microinches of gold plating for reliable conductivity.

Termination Style and Common Issues

The module uses a punchdown termination style that requires a compatible impact tool to seat each conductor. Installers who strip too much jacket or untwist pairs beyond the allowed length often fail certification testing. Reusing a jack after a failed punchdown can damage the phosphor bronze contacts and degrade performance. Proper cable management prevents strain on the rear connections.

Installers Who Need Category 6 Keystone Jacks

This jack suits network installers terminating solid or stranded UTP cable in keystone-compatible hardware. It is not suited for users who need a toolless or field-terminable connector without a punchdown tool. Buyers requiring shielded Category 6A or higher performance should select a different module. Those working with non-keystone proprietary faceplates must verify mechanical compatibility before ordering.

Each module is 100% factory tested to exceed industry standard performance requirements; after punchdown use a cable certifier to confirm Category 6 link performance.

What comes with the NK688MIW and what must I supply separately?

Which version of the NetKey Cat6 keystone jack should I choose for my installation?

The NK688MIW is the single off-white Category 6 punchdown keystone jack module; select it when you need a standard keystone footprint with 50 microinches gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for 22-26 AWG cable.
