Optical Cable Corp. KMJA5E05 Keystone Cat5e Jack

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. KMJA5E05 is a Category 5e keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential environments. Wired to TIA/EIA 568 A/B standards, this jack supports both wiring schemes, giving installers flexibility when terminating horizontal runs. The unit is finished in blue for easy port identification and color-coded patch panel management. It terminates solid or stranded Cat5e cable and snaps into any standard keystone wall plate or patch panel cutout. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this jack to build clean, code-compliant data outlets.

This keystone jack is suited for data network drops in office builds, classroom installs, hospitality wiring, and light industrial structured cabling projects. It fits into standard keystone-format wall plates, surface-mount boxes, and patch panels. The 568 A/B dual wiring configuration makes it a practical stocking item for crews working mixed wiring environments where both schemes appear on the same job site.

Key Features

• TIA/EIA 568 A and 568 B wiring scheme support on a single jack
• Category 5e performance rating for 10/100/1000 Ethernet applications
• Blue color coding for straightforward port and circuit identification
• Keystone form factor fits standard wall plates, surface-mount boxes, and patch panels
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing on any job size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style termination solution for standard keystone-format wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures used in Cat5e structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified network cabling installer. De-energize any active patch panel or PoE switch port before terminating. Use a 110-style punch-down tool to seat conductors; follow the color-coded 568 A or 568 B guide printed on the jack body. Verify terminations with a cable tester before closing the wall plate.
