Panduit NK5E88MYLY Cat 5e Leadframe Modular Jack

Product Description

The PANDUIT NK5E88MYLY is a Category 5e leadframe modular jack designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This 8-position, 8-conductor (8P8C) keystone-style jack terminates horizontal cable runs at the workstation outlet or patch panel, supporting data and voice applications. The leadframe termination design aligns conductors precisely during punchdown, reducing installation errors and improving consistency across high-volume deployments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This jack is suited for use in network outlet faceplates, surface-mount boxes, and patch panels that accept standard keystone modules. It supports Cat 5e performance requirements, making it appropriate for 10/100/1000 Ethernet (Gigabit) structured cabling systems in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and light industrial spaces. It is sold individually and intended for professional cabling infrastructure projects requiring consistent, standards-compliant connectivity at the horizontal link termination point.

Key Features

• Category 5e rated for Gigabit Ethernet and voice applications
• Leadframe design aligns conductors for accurate, repeatable punchdown termination
• 8-position, 8-conductor (8P8C) configuration
• Keystone form factor compatible with standard faceplate and patch panel applications
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit keystone jack for use in structured cabling systems accepting Cat 5e modular jacks in keystone form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any connected network equipment before terminating cable at the jack. Use a 110-style punchdown tool to seat conductors into the leadframe; avoid untwisting more cable than necessary to maintain Cat 5e performance. Follow local codes and the relevant TIA/EIA standards for horizontal cabling installation and testing.
