NetKey Cat5e Keystone Jack Module

The Panduit NKP5E88M is a Category 5e keystone punchdown jack designed for structured cabling installations. It terminates 4-pair unshielded twisted pair cable using a standard punchdown tool for secure conductor connections. The module fits industry standard keystone openings in patch panels and wall plates. It supports T568A and T568B wiring schemes via a color coded label.

Color Coding and Strain Relief Features

A blue housing identifies the jack for quick visual sorting during installation and maintenance. The integrated retention cap adds strain relief to protect terminated conductors from cable tension. Gold plated contacts maintain signal integrity across the RJ45 interface. The product meets RoHS environmental certification for restricted substance compliance.

22 to 26 AWG Conductor Compatibility

This jack accepts solid or stranded conductors ranging from 22 to 26 AWG with 100 ohm impedance. Installers must verify cable gauge matches this range before termination. The single RJ45 male interface connects directly to patch cords or equipment ports. Buyers needing shielded jack modules or tool less termination should select a different product.

Questions about this item

Will the punchdown contacts need re-termination after repeated patch-cord changes?

The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts are rated for repeated mating cycles; only the IDC punchdown side would require re-termination if a conductor is damaged.

What cable gauge range does the IDC block accept before termination reliability drops?

The module terminates solid or stranded conductors from 22 to 26 AWG; using wire outside this range can cause poor contact or insulation damage.

Does the jack run warm when PoE devices draw full power through all four pairs?

The Cat5e jack is specified for 100 ohm unshielded pair cable and standard PoE currents; no additional heat is generated beyond normal cable resistance.
