Description

Black Box FMT923-R2 Unshielded CAT5E Keystone Jack

Overview

The Black Box FMT923-R2 is an unshielded CAT5E keystone jack designed for terminating network cabling. It provides a reliable connection point for Cat5E Ethernet cables, ensuring signal integrity for data transmission in structured cabling systems. This jack is suitable for installations in patch panels or wall plates where a clean and professional termination is required. The gray color helps with cable management and identification in mixed-color installations. The FMT923-R2 model is engineered for straightforward termination of standard 24 AWG solid conductor cable.

Compatibility

This keystone jack is compatible with standard keystone-style patch panels and wall plates designed for RJ45 connectors. It supports CAT5E performance standards, making it suitable for networks operating up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). It is designed for use with 24 AWG solid conductor UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable.

Installation Notes

Termination requires a standard keystone punch-down tool (e.g., 110-style). Ensure the punch-down tool is properly seated on the wire before actuating to achieve a secure connection. Follow the color-coded wiring diagram (T568A or T568B) printed on the jack for correct conductor placement. Proper cable management, including maintaining twist rates up to the termination point, is critical for achieving CAT5E performance.
