Keystone jack ACT CAT5E plne tienený Punch Down TD5022

The ACT CAT5E Keystone Jack Full Shielded Punch Down TD5022 is a shielded network connector designed for CAT5E cabling systems. It combines an RJ45 port with IDC punch-down terminals to provide a compact, durable interface for horizontal and patch cabling. The full metal shielding and steel construction reduce electromagnetic interference and mechanical wear, supporting stable data transmission in environments that require improved noise immunity.

Advantages

The full shielded design provides enhanced protection against EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded jacks. A robust steel housing increases mechanical durability and grounding reliability. The punch-down IDC terminals allow secure termination of individual conductors without the need for crimping, and the integrated RJ45 port supports standard plug-in network devices. The compact keystone form factor is compatible with faceplates, patch panels, and modular housings for flexible installation.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet installations using CAT5E cabling
• Network patch panels and wall outlets in commercial or residential spaces
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference (near electrical equipment or cabling bundles)
• Professional and DIY network termination tasks requiring shielded connectors

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5E shielded keystone jack
• Connector types: RJ45 (female) and IDC punch-down
• Shielding: full metal/steel housing for EMI protection
• Termination: 8P8C wiring with punch-down IDC contacts
• Form factor: standard keystone for modular panels and faceplates
• Suitable frequency: up to CAT5E performance (100 MHz)

How to use

Strip the outer jacket of the CAT5E cable to expose the twisted pairs, arrange the conductors according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), and insert each conductor into the corresponding IDC slot. Use a suitable punch-down tool to terminate the wires into the IDC contacts, trimming any excess conductor. Secure the keystone jack into a compatible faceplate, patch panel, or mounting bracket. Finally, plug in an RJ45 cable to test connectivity and verify signal continuity and performance using a cable tester if required.

Recommendations

Maintain proper grounding of the shielded jack and associated patch panels or outlets to ensure effective EMI protection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on terminated cables, and test each run after installation to confirm correct wiring and performance.
