Black Box GigaTrue 2 CAT6A Keystone Jack - Unshielded, RJ45, White, 25-Pack

Upgrade your network infrastructure with the Black Box GigaTrue 2 CAT6A Unshielded Keystone Jack in a clean white finish. This high-performance RJ45 module is purpose-built for modern LAN environments that demand speed, reliability, and easy installation. Whether you’re outfitting a data center, an office floorplate, a conference room, or a home lab, the GigaTrue 2 keystone jack delivers the speed you need and the flexibility your network requires. It supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it ideal for high-throughput servers, high-density wireless access points, IP cameras, and other networked devices that draw power through the cable. With a bandwidth rating up to 500 MHz, this CAT6A jack helps maintain signal integrity across longer runs and in environments with substantial cable density. The universal wiring capability ensures compatibility with both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, so you can match existing installation standards without re-terminating cables. The top-termination design simplifies field installs, reducing the time and effort required to terminate multiple jacks in a rack or wall plate. A stuffer cap is included to seal unused ports and preserve impedance, protecting performance and reducing ingress of dust and debris. This 25-pack is perfect for bulk deployments, maintenance spares, or stocking a kit for ongoing upgrades. The white finish blends seamlessly with common faceplates and wall plates, delivering a professional, showroom-ready appearance while meeting the practical needs of engineers and technicians. Best of all, Black Box backs this jack with a lifetime guarantee, giving you confidence that your investment will stand up to the rigors of daily use in a busy network environment.

• 10-GbE and PoE Ready: Engineered to support high-speed data transfer and power delivery over CAT6A cabling, the GigaTrue 2 keystone jack enables advanced networking scenarios—from data center racks to enterprise office layouts—without compromising performance or reliability. Its unshielded design keeps installation straightforward and cost-effective, while still delivering robust performance for demanding workloads such as virtualization, large file transfers, media streaming, and IP-based security systems.
• 500 MHz Bandwidth for Superior Signal Integrity: With a bandwidth specification up to 500 MHz, this jack helps minimize crosstalk and external interference, maintaining clean, stable signals across longer cable runs and dense cable bundles. This translates to more consistent throughput, lower error rates, and better overall network performance in busy environments where numerous cables share space in patch panels and wall plates.
• Top-Termination with Included Stuffer Cap: Termination from the top simplifies field installation, enabling quick and precise conductor placement with standard tools. The included stuffer cap protects unused ports, preserving mechanical integrity and electrical performance over time while reducing the chance of contamination or conductor exposure.
• Universal Wiring (T568A/B) for Flexible Deployment: Supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, giving installers the freedom to match existing networks or future-proof a project. This flexibility minimizes rework and streamlines migrations or expansions, especially in environments with mixed wiring standards.
• Cable Compatibility, Durability, and Pack Convenience: Designed to accommodate 22-24 AWG copper conductors and cables with a diameter from 0.197" to 0.354", this jack is purpose-built for a wide range of CAT6A cables. The white color ensures clean integration with standard faceplates, while the 25-pack format provides an economical solution for bulk installations, spares, and future growth. A lifetime guarantee adds long-term assurance for busy facilities and professional installers.

How to install Black Box GigaTrue 2 CAT6A Keystone Jack

• Step 1: Prepare the cabling. Ensure you’re working with 22-24 AWG copper conductors and verify that the cable diameter falls within the 0.197" to 0.354" range. Inspect the cable for damage, trimming back any frayed or worn jacket to expose fresh copper. This helps ensure a clean termination and reliable performance over time.
• Step 2: Select wiring scheme. Decide whether your network uses T568A or T568B wiring. The GigaTrue 2 keystone jack supports both, so align the conductors with the chosen standard before terminating. Having a clear color code handy will speed the process and reduce mistakes during the termination.
• Step 3: Terminate from the top. Insert each conductor into the appropriate slot following the color sequence for your chosen standard. Ensure conductors are fully seated and that there is no copper exposed above the termination point. A steady hand and the correct crimping or punching tool will produce a solid, repeatable termination that stands up to daily use in a busy network.
• Step 4: Inspect and test. Once terminated, visually inspect each conductor for proper seating and absence of stray strands. If possible, use a cable tester or certifier to verify continuity, pair integrity, and impedance. This step helps catch mis-wirings or loose connections before they become recurring problems in production networks.
• Step 5: Mount and protect. Snap the terminated jack into a compatible wall plate, patch panel, or keystone module. If the port will remain unused for a period, install the included stuffer cap to protect the port from dust and debris and to preserve impedance. Finally, run a test on the live network to confirm performance matches your expectations for 10-GbE and PoE-capable CAT6A installations.
