Ortronics KT2J5E-36 Keystone Cat5e Jack Blue

Product Description

The ORTRONICS KT2J5E-36 is a Category 5e keystone jack in blue, designed for structured cabling installations in residential and commercial environments. This single-port modular insert terminates twisted-pair network cabling and snaps into standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians install this jack as part of voice and data distribution systems. It meets Cat5e performance standards, supporting network speeds up to 1 Gbps at 100 MHz bandwidth, making it a reliable choice for horizontal cable runs in office, retail, and light industrial settings.

This keystone jack is suited for structured wiring projects where Cat5e performance is required at the outlet level. It fits standard keystone-compatible faceplates and patch panels, making it straightforward to integrate into new construction or retrofit installations. The blue color coding aids in port identification and cable management, particularly in high-density patch panel environments where visual organization reduces troubleshooting time. Typical applications include workstation drops, phone terminations, and data closet patch panel builds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or electrician. Power down any active network equipment connected to the run before terminating. A 110-style punch-down tool is the standard termination instrument for this type of keystone jack. Follow TIA-568 wiring standards and observe local low-voltage cabling codes when routing and terminating horizontal cable runs.
