Panduit NKP5E88MIG Cat 5e Punchdown Jack Module

Product Description

The PANDUIT NKP5E88MIG is a Category 5e punchdown jack module designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential low-voltage systems. This module accepts 110-style punchdown terminations for solid or stranded conductors and provides a standard 8P8C (RJ-45) interface on the front face. It is intended for installation into compatible keystone-style patch panels or wall plates. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the primary trades that work with this component. The module supports data networking applications where Cat 5e performance is the specified standard.

This jack module is suited for horizontal cabling runs in office, commercial, and light industrial environments where structured cabling infrastructure is built to TIA-568 standards. It fits into panel or faceplate systems that accept standard-footprint keystone modules. Typical applications include workstation data outlets, patch panel ports, and modular wall plate assemblies in both new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Category 5e performance supports data networking up to 1000BASE-T specifications
• 110-style punchdown termination compatible with standard impact tools
• 8P8C front port provides standard RJ-45 connectivity
• Compact modular form factor fits keystone-compatible panels and faceplates
• Sold individually for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for keystone-compatible patch panels, surface-mount boxes, and wall plate faceplates used in Cat 5e structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. De-energize or disconnect any active equipment connected to the cabling run before terminating conductors. Use a calibrated 110-style impact punchdown tool to seat and trim conductors — do not hand-press terminations. Maintain pair twist as close to the punchdown point as practical to preserve signal performance.
