Ortronics KS6A-13 Cat6 Keystone Jack

Product Description

The ORTRONICS KS6A-13 is a Cat6 keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential settings. This termination device accepts 8P8C modular plug connections on the front and terminates twisted-pair cable on the rear via punch-down contacts, providing a reliable signal pathway within a patch panel or wall plate assembly. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this jack as part of a complete horizontal cabling run. It conforms to the keystone form factor, allowing it to seat in standard keystone-compatible faceplates, surface-mount boxes, and patch panels.

The KS6A-13 suits structured cabling projects where Cat6 performance is required at the work area outlet or patch field. Typical applications include office buildouts, data centers, school networks, and hospitality installations. The unit is sold individually, making it straightforward to order exact quantities for both new installations and single-port replacements.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install keystone jack compatible with standard keystone-format wall plates, faceplates, surface-mount boxes, and patch panels used in Cat6 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any adjacent active equipment before terminating cable runs. Use a 110-style punch-down tool for rear termination contacts and follow the jack's labeled wiring scheme consistently across all ports in the installation. Avoid untwisting more cable than necessary at the termination point to maintain Cat6 signal integrity.
