Ortronics KS6A-45 Cat6 Keystone Jack

Product Description

The ORTRONICS KS6A-45 is a Category 6 keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. It terminates horizontal Cat6 cable runs and snaps into standard keystone-style wall plates, patch panels, or surface-mount boxes. The jack provides a reliable, low-loss connection point between in-wall cabling and end-user equipment. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this component during rough-in and finish phases of network infrastructure projects. Its keystone form factor makes it interchangeable with most industry-standard faceplates and modular patch panel frames.

The KS6A-45 suits horizontal cabling runs in office buildouts, school networks, healthcare facilities, and residential structured wiring applications. It is intended for use wherever a permanent, field-terminated Cat6 outlet is required. The jack is sold as a single unit, making it practical for small patch repairs as well as large-scale cabling deployments.

Key Features

• Category 6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• Keystone form factor fits standard wall plates, surface-mount boxes, and modular patch panels
• Field-terminable design allows on-site installation without factory assembly
• Single-unit packaging supports both individual repairs and bulk installation projects

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or certified low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 wiring standards. De-energize any adjacent active equipment before terminating cables at the jack. Use a 110-style punch-down tool for proper termination and trim excess conductor cleanly to maintain pair integrity. Follow local codes and the building's cabling documentation for proper labeling and cable management after installation.
