Cat6A Keystone Jacks: High-Performance Network Connectivity
Keystone jacks are essential components for establishing reliable network connections in homes, offices, and data centers. CableLeader offers a comprehensive range of Cat6A keystone jacks designed to deliver exceptional performance and seamless connectivity for your high-speed network needs.
What are Cat6A Keystone Jacks?
Cat6A keystone jacks are specialized connectors that facilitate the termination of Cat6A Ethernet cables. These jacks feature RJ45 connectors that enable seamless connections to various network devices, such as computers, servers, switches, and routers. With their advanced design and shielding, Cat6A keystone jacks support 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, ensuring lightning-fast data transfer rates and minimal signal interference.
Connector Types and Termination Options
CableLeader's Cat6A keystone jacks are available in two primary termination styles:
- 110 Punch Down Keystones: These jacks require a 110 punch-down tool for terminating the individual wire pairs of the Cat6A cable. They offer a secure and reliable connection.
- Toolless Keystones: As the name suggests, these keystones do not require any specialized tools for termination. They feature a simple push-in design, making cable installation quick and effortless.
Both termination options are compatible with CableLeader's extensive range of wall plates, patch panels, and surface mount boxes, providing versatile installation solutions for various networking environments.

Do you need special jacks for Cat6a?
Yes, it is recommended to use Cat6a keystone jacks specifically designed for Cat6a cables. While Cat6 jacks are compatible with Cat6 cables, Cat6a keystone jacks are engineered to support the higher bandwidth and transmission rates of Cat6a cables, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Using the appropriate keystone jack that matches the cable category is crucial for maintaining the intended 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and data transmission capabilities.
Will Cat6 jacks work with Cat6a cable?
While Cat6 jacks can physically connect to Cat6a cables, it is not recommended as it may limit the performance and capabilities of the Cat6a cable. Cat6a cables are designed to support higher data rates and frequencies, but when used with Cat6 jacks, the performance will be limited to the lower standards of the Cat6 jack. For optimal performance and to fully utilize the benefits of Cat6a cables, it is advisable to use Cat6a keystone jacks specifically designed for Cat6a cabling.
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a keystone jacks?
The main difference between Cat6 and Cat6a keystone jacks lies in their performance capabilities. Cat6a keystone jacks are engineered to support higher data transmission speeds and frequencies compared to Cat6 jacks. Specifically, Cat6a jacks can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 100 meters, while Cat6 jacks are limited to supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet only up to 55 meters under ideal conditions. Additionally, Cat6a jacks often feature enhanced shielding and noise reduction to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies.
Can you reuse Cat6 keystone jacks?
Yes, keystone jacks, including Cat6 keystone jacks, are generally reusable as long as they are inserted and removed a minimum number of times, typically around 20 times. However, it is essential to handle them with care and follow proper installation and removal procedures to avoid damaging the jacks or compromising their performance.
What is a Cat6 keystone jack?
A Cat6 keystone jack is a female RJ45 connector designed specifically for Cat6 Ethernet cables. It is typically mounted in wall plates, patch panels, or surface mount boxes to provide a termination point for Cat6 cables in a network or telecommunication system. Cat6 keystone jacks are engineered to support the bandwidth and performance requirements of Cat6 cabling, ensuring reliable data transmission at Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Do I need shielded keystone jacks?
Whether you need shielded keystone jacks depends on the type of Ethernet cable you are using. If you are using shielded cables, such as F/UTP (Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair) or S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair), it is recommended to use shielded keystone jacks. The shielding in both the cable and the jack helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring optimal signal integrity. However, if you are using unshielded cables like UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), you can use unshielded keystone jacks.
