The Ultimate Guide to Fiber Optic Keystone Jacks: Connectors, Specifications, and Applications
Introduction to Fiber Optic Keystone Jacks
Fiber optic keystone jacks, also known as fiber optic insert modules, are essential components in modern fiber optic networks. These compact and versatile devices are designed to fit seamlessly into patch panels, wall plates, and surface mount boxes, providing a reliable and organized solution for fiber optic cable termination and connectivity.
CableLeader offers a comprehensive range of high-quality fiber optic keystone jacks, supporting various connector types, including LC, SC, and ST. These jacks are compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cables, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from telecommunications rooms and data centers to fiber optic networks in commercial and industrial settings.
Fiber Optic Keystone Jack Connectors
Fiber optic keystone jacks are available in different connector types, each designed to meet specific requirements and industry standards. Here are the three most common connector types offered by CableLeader:
LC Connectors
The LC (Lucent Connector) is a popular choice for high-density applications due to its small form factor and secure latching mechanism. CableLeader's LC Duplex Keystone Jacks feature LC female connectors on both ends, making them ideal for duplex fiber optic cable termination.
SC Connectors
The SC (Subscriber Connector) is renowned for its durability and ease of use, featuring a push-pull latching system. CableLeader's SC Simplex Keystone Jacks are designed with SC female connectors, making them suitable for simplex fiber optic cable termination.
ST Connectors
The ST (Straight Tip) connector is known for its bayonet-style locking mechanism, providing a stable connection in high-vibration environments. CableLeader's ST Simplex Keystone Jacks feature ST female connectors, making them ideal for multi-mode simplex fiber optic cable termination.
Fiber Optic Keystone Jack Specifications
CableLeader's fiber optic keystone jacks are engineered to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Here are some key specifications to consider:
Insertion Loss
Insertion loss refers to the amount of signal power lost when light passes through a fiber optic connection. CableLeader's keystone jacks offer low insertion loss, typically < 0.2 dB for single-mode and < 0.3 dB for multi-mode fiber optic cables, ensuring minimal signal degradation.
Housing Material and Durability
The housing of CableLeader's fiber optic keystone jacks is constructed from high-quality materials such as PC (Polycarbonate) and PBT+15%, both of which are UL 94V-0 rated for fire resistance. These jacks are designed to withstand 500 cycles of insertion and removal, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliability.
Applications and Usage
Fiber optic keystone jacks are versatile components that can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
- Telecommunications Rooms: Keystone jacks are commonly used in telecommunications rooms to terminate and organize fiber optic cables, providing a neat and efficient cable management solution.

What is the difference between RJ45 and keystone jack?
RJ45 is a male plug that plugs into something, while a keystone jack is a female port that gets plugged into. RJ45 is used to terminate Ethernet cables, whereas keystone jacks are used to provide a receptacle for RJ45 plugs in structured cabling systems.
What is the function of keystone jack?
A keystone jack is a female connector used in data communications. It serves as a receptacle for a matching RJ45 plug, allowing Ethernet cables to be connected to patch panels, wall plates, and other networking equipment.
Are there different types of keystone jacks?
Yes, there are different types of keystone jacks based on the network cable specifications they support, including:
- Cat5e Keystone Jacks: Rated for up to 1 Gbps, suitable for home and small business networks.
- Cat6 Keystone Jacks: Rated for up to 10 Gbps, ideal for high-speed networks in large businesses or data centers.
- Cat6a Keystone Jacks: Support data rates up to 10 Gbps over longer distances.
- Cat7 and Cat8 Keystone Jacks: Support even higher data rates and frequencies.
What are the four (4) types of fiber optic connectors?
The common types of fiber optic connectors are:
- LC: Compact size, high performance, and ease of use, making it a popular choice.
- SC: Durable and easy to use, featuring a push-pull latching system.
- MTP/MPO: Used for high-density applications, supporting multiple fibers in a single connector.
- ST: Known for its bayonet-style locking mechanism, suitable for high-vibration environments.
What is the most commonly used fiber optic connector?
The LC connector is the most commonly used fiber optic connector today, particularly for networking and audio/video applications, due to its compact size, high performance, and ease of use.
How do I identify a fiber optic connector?
Fiber optic connectors can be identified by their distinct shapes and features:
- SC connectors have a square shape.
- FC connectors have a threaded barrel design.
- ST connectors have a bayonet-style locking mechanism.
- LC connectors have a small, rectangular form factor.
Additionally, different connector types may have different color coding, such as blue for single-mode UPC connectors and green for single-mode APC connectors.
