Keystone RJ45 Dual Insert | HTECH

The Keystone RJ45 Dual Insert is a standardized modular plug used to terminate twisted-pair Ethernet cabling for high-speed data networking. It is the core component for building wall-mounted network ports and patch panels in both residential and commercial environments.

Product features

• Physical design: the insert is designed with a standard “snap-in” form factor that fits any universal keystone wall plate, surface-mount box, or patch panel.
• Front interface: a female 8P8C (8 Position, 8 Contact) jack designed to accept standard Ethernet patch cables.
• Rear interface: features an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) block where the solid copper conductors of a network cable are “punched down” or pressed into place.

Specifications

• Material: flame-retardant plastic
• Compatibility: fits any standard keystone opening
• Dimensions: 15mm x 16mm
• Installation: toolless snap-in design; can be removed from the rear
• Category ratings: the inserts are rated by their performance capabilities. It is essential to match the insert category to the cable being used:
  • Cat5e: supports speeds up to 1 Gbps at 100 MHz.
  • Cat6: supports up to 1 Gbps at 250 MHz (and 10 Gbps over shorter distances).
  • Cat6A: supports 10 Gbps speeds at 500 MHz and usually features shielding (STP) to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Steps for getting the right amount of inserts for your project:

1. Determine the empty slots of the wall plate. For example, you want two 6-slot 120×120 wall plates. The total number of empty slots is 12.
2. Determine the actual number of inserts you need. Subtract the total empty slots from the amount of inserts you actually need. The value gotten will be for the blank inserts [click here]. For example, you require four RJ45 inserts, 12 – 4 = 8. That means you will buy 8 blank inserts for the slots you will not be using.
