Cat6 Toolless Keystone Jack | EXW Network Connectors
UL/ETL certified Cat6 STP toolless keystone jack with 4PPoE support, short circuit protection, and foolproof IDC cap for dense data center installations.
Cat.6 STP 180 Degree Toolless Keystone Jack
RoHS and REACH Compliant Cat6 Shielded RJ45 8P8C Network Jack
CAT6 shielded 4PPoE keystone jack is compact and slim, which optimizes space and density in business buildings and data centers. The network jack can be terminated by hand to deliver a CAT6 solution that minimizes the time required by an installer to complete each termination. The 4PPoE network jack can be plugged into RJ45 blank panels, face plates, wall plates, and surface mount boxes.

Cat.6 Keystone Jack With Foolproof IDC Cap
Cat.6 RJ45 keystone jack has a foolproof cap that has different notches on the two sides of the cap and prevents the cap from being misplaced. It minimizes the occurrence of incorrect twisted pair wiring. The foolproof notches also lock the cap in place when the keystone jack is unused. Without an intended and strong pull on the cap, the cap stays still in the keystone jack.
Force-Balance Mechanism for Quick Tool-Free Cat.6 Installation
The force-balance mechanism allows the IDC cap to easily sit flat on the IDC housing before technicians snap it in and terminate the keystone jack. The new design has 2 small protruded pyramids on the IDC cap and 2 rectangular holes on the IDC housing. A simple press on the IDC cap to lock the protruded pyramids on the holes before closing the shielded housing of the keystone jack enables equal downward force exerted on the cap.
Cat.6 Keystone Jack With Short Circuit Protection
The new structure design enables short circuits protection by securely separating exposed wires from the shielded housing of the keystone jack. The walls next to the two rows of IDCs can effectively cover the ends of the wires to achieve complete insulation and to prevent excessive current from flowing through an unintended path. The circuit protection feature minimizes equipment repair and downtime. It also prevents shock hazard and electrical fires.

How can you reduce network installation time and minimize equipment downtime in high-density data center environments?
EXW's Cat6 toolless keystone jack eliminates complex termination procedures through its innovative force-balance mechanism and foolproof IDC cap design. By enabling hand-terminated installations without specialized tools, your technicians complete each connection faster while reducing installation errors and associated equipment failures. The integrated short circuit protection prevents electrical hazards and costly downtime, allowing your data center to maintain peak operational efficiency during infrastructure upgrades or expansions.
The advanced short circuit protection design securely separates exposed wires from the shielded zinc die-casting housing, preventing unintended current paths that could compromise equipment reliability or create safety hazards. With phosphor bronze contacts featuring 50-microinch gold plating and polycarbonate IDC housing rated for 750 mating cycles and 20 installation cycles, this connector provides enterprise-grade durability and performance longevity. Available in multiple configurations (SKUs 3J01-A01-00153 through 00156) supporting both 23-26 AWG and 22-24 AWG cables, EXW's toolless keystone jack meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and EN 50173-1 international standards. Minimize installation time, reduce technician training requirements, and enhance network infrastructure reliability with EXW's certified Cat6 solution designed for demanding data center and telecommunications environments.
