Black Box 25-PK Ivory Unshielded CAT6 Keystone Jack, 110 Punchdown, TAA

Elevate every network installation with the Black Box 25-PK Ivory Unshielded CAT6 Keystone Jack. Built for speed, reliability, and easy deployment, these jacks deliver CAT6 performance up to 250 MHz while remaining compatible with existing CAT5e, CAT5, and CAT3 components. The ivory color fits seamlessly into both light and dark faceplates, offering a clean, professional look in data centers, offices, and homes. With universal wiring support, dual T568A/T568B labeling, and a snap-in keystone design, this 25-pack is the smart, scalable choice for bulk installations and ongoing network upgrades.

  • High-performance CAT6, backward compatible with legacy networks — This unshielded CAT6 keystone jack is engineered to meet CAT6 standards with data transmission rates up to 250 MHz, ensuring robust, high-speed performance for modern gigabit and next-generation networks. It remains fully backward compatible with CAT5e, CAT5, and CAT3 components, enabling smooth network upgrades without replacing every element of your infrastructure. The universal wiring capability supports both T568A and T568B schemes, so you can standardize on your preferred color-coding or mix-and-match as needed while maintaining flawless connectivity.

  • Convenient 25-pack, ivory color, and easy snap-in installation — Sold in a 25-pack for bulk projects, these ivory keystone jacks blend discreetly into any panel, faceplate, or outlet face. The keystone form factor enables quick snap-in installation into standard wall plates and patch panels, reducing labor time and increasing consistency across multiple jacks. Its 110 punchdown termination supports clean, secure connections with professional-grade performance.

  • Durable, future-ready design with dual labeling — Labeling supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, allowing technicians to wire to either standard without confusion. The unshielded (UTP) design favors cost-effective deployments in room-scale networks and patch panels, while maintaining solid performance in typical office or educational environments. The ivory color provides a clean aesthetic that blends with most installations, promoting neat, organized cable management.

  • GigaTrue CAT6 compatibility and wide application — Part of a broader ecosystem that includes GigaTrue CAT6 cables, these jacks are designed to work cohesively with high-quality CAT6 components to maximize link performance and reliability. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, home entertainment setups, and educational labs, they support stable data transmission for multimedia streaming, VoIP, and cloud-based applications, making them a versatile choice for mixed-use environments.

  • Standards-driven, tested reliability — Built to align with industry standards like TIA/EIA-568-C.2, these jacks ensure predictable performance and interoperability with compliant cables and patching systems. The 25-pack is a practical solution for bulk deployments, rack-and-stack installations, and ongoing maintenance programs, delivering consistency, easy inventory management, and reduced procurement overhead.

How to install Black Box 25-PK Ivory Unshielded CAT6 Keystone Jack

Follow these steps to ensure a clean, reliable termination and optimal performance:

Step 1: Prepare the cable. Strip the outer jacket to expose the twisted pairs, then carefully trim the individual wires to the appropriate length for a 110 punchdown termination. Keep the conductors neat and untwisted near the termination to minimize crosstalk and signal loss.

Step 2: Decide on wiring scheme. Choose T568A or T568B wiring as your standard. The jack is labeled for both schemes, allowing you to wire according to your project’s existing configuration or a new standard. Consistency across all terminations is key to avoiding confusion later on.

Step 3: Align wires with the color code. Following the selected scheme, arrange the individual conductors in the proper order (e.g., orange pair, green pair, blue pair, brown pair for T568B). Gently straighten and separate the pairs to facilitate clean insertion into the 110 blades.

Step 4: Terminate with a 110 punchdown tool. Place each conductor onto the corresponding blade and press firmly with the punchdown tool until it seats securely. Ensure each wire is fully terminated and that there are no loose strands that could cause a fault.

Step 5: Inspect the termination. Visually verify that all conductors are fully seated and clipped to the correct depth. A quick continuity check with a cable tester can help confirm proper termination and signal integrity before installation into a panel or wall plate.

Step 6: snap into place. Once all terminations are complete, insert the jack into the appropriate keystone slot in your patch panel, wall plate, or faceplate. The snap-in design should hold securely without excessive force, providing a stable, professional finish.

Step 7: Label and test. Apply any required labeling to identify the jack, especially in larger installations. Perform a final network test to confirm performance across the expected bandwidth, ensuring the link supports the desired data rate with minimal error.
