Panduit CJ5E88TRD Cat 5e UTP 8 Position Keystone Jack
Overview
The Panduit CJ5E88TRD is a Category 5e, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) keystone jack designed for terminating 24 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors. It provides a robust connection point within patch panels or wall plates, ensuring reliable data transmission for networks operating up to 1 Gbps. This jack is critical for structured cabling systems where clean, organized terminations are paramount for performance and maintainability. The CJ5E88TRD model specifically supports 8-position, 8-conductor (8P8C) configurations, commonly known as RJ45.
Compatibility
This keystone jack is designed to snap into standard keystone-style openings found in Panduit Mini-Com® patch panels, faceplates, and surface mount boxes. It is compatible with Category 5e structured cabling systems. For optimal performance, it should be used with Category 5e rated cable and termination tools.
Installation Notes
Termination requires a standard 110-type punch-down tool. Ensure conductors are punched down fully to seat them correctly. Follow the color-coded wiring diagram on the jack for T568A or T568B termination schemes. Proper conductor untwisting at the termination point should be minimized to maintain Category 5e performance standards.
