Panduit CJH5E88TGVL Cat 5e Spring Shuttered Jack

Product Description

The PANDUIT CJH5E88TGVL is a Category 5e spring shuttered keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. The spring-loaded shutter mechanism covers the port when not in use, helping to block dust, debris, and accidental contact with the contacts. This jack is sold as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and electricians working on data network infrastructure projects.

This jack is suited for horizontal cabling terminations in patch panels, wall plates, and surface-mount boxes. It is appropriate for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet applications. The spring shutter feature makes it a practical choice in high-traffic or industrial environments where port protection is a priority. Installation typically takes place during new construction, tenant improvement, or network upgrade projects.

Key Features

• Category 5e performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet applications
• Spring-loaded shutter closes automatically when no cable is plugged in, protecting contacts from dust and debris
• Keystone form factor fits standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes
• Sold individually, allowing quantity-specific procurement for any project size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard keystone-style wall plates, patch panels, and enclosures accepting Category 5e keystone jacks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician following TIA-568 cabling standards. De-energize any associated network equipment before terminating conductors. Use a proper punch-down tool rated for 110-style termination blocks to seat conductors cleanly and avoid damaging the jack. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to maintain signal integrity.
