Panduit CJH5E88TGYL Cat 5e Spring Shuttered Jack

Product Description

The PANDUIT CJH5E88TGYL is a Category 5e spring shuttered keystone jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network infrastructure. The spring-loaded shutter mechanism covers the port when unplugged, protecting the internal contacts from dust, debris, and accidental damage. This jack is an individual unit sold as a single piece and is typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians working on data distribution systems. It fits into standard keystone wall plates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes, making it a versatile component in ethernet network builds.

This jack is suited for horizontal cabling runs in office buildouts, server rooms, and residential structured wiring panels. It supports Cat 5e performance standards, making it appropriate for 100 Mbps and Gigabit ethernet applications over copper twisted-pair cable. The spring shutter feature is particularly useful in high-traffic or dusty environments where port protection is a priority. Installation is completed at the termination point of a structured cabling run, typically after cable pulls are complete and before patch panel or wall plate assembly is finalized.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Category 5e keystone jack applications in structured cabling systems using industry-standard keystone mounting formats.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with applicable codes including TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Disconnect and de-energize any associated network equipment before terminating cables at the jack. Use a 110-style punch-down tool for proper conductor termination and avoid untwisting pair conductors beyond the minimum required for termination. Do not exceed the rated bend radius of the horizontal cable during routing to the jack location.
