Ortronics KS5E Cat5e Keystone Jack Kit 25-pack White

Product Description

The ORTRONICS KS5E is a Cat5e keystone jack kit supplied in a 25-unit pack, finished in white. Designed for T568A and T568B wiring configurations, these jacks terminate horizontal copper cabling runs at wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes. The dual-standard wiring compatibility makes the KS5E suitable for both new installation and retrofit work in structured cabling environments. Data and low-voltage installers, systems integrators, and network cabling contractors are the primary users. Each unit in the kit is sold individually as a discrete jack, giving installers a straightforward quantity for a mid-sized wiring project.

The KS5E kit is suited for commercial and residential structured cabling installations where Cat5e performance is specified. Common applications include office network drops, hospitality wiring projects, and school or campus LAN buildouts. The T568A/T568B dual wiring pattern support allows the installer to follow whichever standard the job requires without sourcing a separate part number. These jacks land in wall outlets, surface-mount enclosures, and keystone-style patch panels as the termination point for horizontal Category 5e UTP or FTP runs.

Key Features

• Cat5e rated for data and video structured cabling applications
• Supports both T568A and T568B wiring configurations
• White finish for clean, finished appearance in visible installations
• Keystone form factor fits standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes
• Kit quantity of 25 units per package suits mid-scale cabling runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation keystone jack for standard keystone-format wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures supporting Cat5e horizontal copper cabling.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and structured cabling contractors typically install keystone jacks. De-energize any powered patch equipment before terminating cables at patch panels. Use a 110-style punch-down tool to seat conductors into the IDC contacts, and follow the wiring diagram printed on the jack body for the selected T568A or T568B configuration. Installations in commercial buildings should conform to ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards and applicable local low-voltage codes.
