Ortronics KS6-43 Cat 6 Keystone Jack Orange

Product Description

The ORTRONICS KS6-43 is a Category 6 keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network infrastructure. This single-port insert terminates twisted-pair copper cabling to deliver reliable Gigabit Ethernet and data connectivity at the outlet level. Finished in orange for easy port identification and zone-based color coding, the KS6-43 snaps into any standard keystone-style wall plate, patch panel, or surface-mount housing. Installation is performed by low-voltage data cabling technicians as part of a complete horizontal cabling run.

This keystone jack is suited for data outlet installations in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and light industrial environments where structured Category 6 cabling infrastructure is required. The orange color designation makes it straightforward to differentiate data drops by floor, VLAN zone, or application type within a multi-port installation. It ships as a single unit, allowing technicians to order exact quantities for a given job.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance rating supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• Standard keystone form factor fits wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes
• Orange color coding supports zone-based port identification in multi-outlet installations
• Single-port configuration allows precise quantity ordering per job
• Compact insert design for high-density faceplate layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation insert for standard keystone-compatible wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount housings used in Category 6 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or data cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Terminate the horizontal cable conductors to the jack using a 110-style punch-down tool, following the color-code diagram printed on the jack body. Ensure the cable is routed and dressed with adequate strain relief before seating the insert into the keystone housing. De-energize any active patch panel circuits and follow site safety protocols before working in the wiring closet or IDF.
