Ortronics KS6A-43 Cat6 Keystone Jack

Product Description

The ORTRONICS KS6A-43 is a Category 6 keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential low-voltage network systems. This modular insert terminates Cat6 twisted-pair cable and provides a reliable, standards-compliant connection point for patch panels, wall plates, and surface-mount boxes. The jack accepts a standard 110-style punch-down termination and outputs a standard RJ-45 port. Low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers use this component when building out data outlet locations in office builds, tenant improvements, and equipment rooms.

The KS6A-43 is suited for horizontal cabling runs where a clean, tooled termination is required at the work area outlet. It fits standard keystone-style wall plates and patch panels that accept universal keystone inserts. Typical applications include office data drops, structured wiring closets, and classroom or hospitality network buildouts where Category 6 performance is specified. The jack is sold as a single unit, allowing installers to order to exact quantities without overage.

Key Features

• Category 6 rated for high-speed data network terminations
• Standard keystone form factor fits universal wall plates and patch panels
• 110-style punch-down termination for reliable, tooled connections
• RJ-45 output port compatible with standard patch cords
• Single-unit packaging allows precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style termination insert for use with standard keystone wall plates, surface-mount boxes, and keystone-style patch panels rated for Category 6 structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any active network equipment connected to the circuit before terminating or replacing the jack. A 110-style punch-down tool is required for proper termination; hand-seating wires without a punch-down tool is not acceptable practice. Follow the wiring scheme printed on the jack body and maintain pair twists as close to the termination point as possible to preserve Category 6 performance.
