Black Box GigaTrue2 CAT6 Jacks – Universal Wiring, 25-Pack, Blue

Introducing the Black Box GigaTrue2 CAT6 Jacks, a premium 25-pack of blue, component-level keystone jacks engineered for fast, scalable network upgrades. These CAT6 jacks are designed to meet the stringent TIA/EIA-568-C.2 CAT6 requirements, delivering dependable data transmission up to 250 MHz. The universal wiring capability means each jack is labeled for both T568A and T568B schemes, enabling flexible installation options and easy reconfiguration without re-pulling cables. Whether upgrading an enterprise data center, outfitting a classroom network, or expanding a home office, these jacks offer a future-ready backbone that stays compatible with existing infrastructure. The snap-in keystone design ensures a clean, professional installation by mounting securely into patch panels, wall plates, or distribution panels, while the blue housing makes organization and troubleshooting intuitive across multi-room setups.

• High-speed CAT6 performance and future-proofing — The GigaTrue2 CAT6 jacks are built to meet CAT6 requirements, supporting data transmission up to 250 MHz. This level of performance is ideal for gigabit networks and provides ample headroom for evolving standards, including higher-speed applications as your network grows. Because they are backward compatible with CAT5e, CAT5, and CAT3 components, you can upgrade portions of your network gradually without replacing every component. This modular upgrade path helps protect your investment and reduces downtime during transitions.
• Universal wiring with dual labeling (A and B) — Each jack is clearly labeled for both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, enabling effortless terminations in environments with mixed wiring standards. This feature minimizes miswiring risks during installations, reconfigurations, or expansions. For IT teams, contractors, or hobbyists, universal wiring simplifies fieldwork, shortens installation times, and ensures consistent performance across devices and locations—even when crews switch between projects with different standards in play.
• Keystone snap-in design for fast, secure installs — The component-level keystone jacks snap neatly into standard keystone openings in patch panels, faceplates, and wall plates, delivering a sturdy, vibration-resistant fit. The snap-in design keeps cables organized and ports aligned, reducing wear on connectors and helping maintain signal integrity over the life of the network. The blue housing provides quick visual identification—helpful for labeling network zones, distinguishing between different floors or departments, and accelerating troubleshooting in dense cabling environments.
• Value-packed 25-pack for larger deployments — With 25 jacks per pack, these Blue GigaTrue2 jacks are perfect for multi-port installations across offices, classrooms, data centers, or large home networks. The bundled quantity streamlines procurement, inventory management, and on-site installation, cutting down on project delays and helping teams stay on budget. The blue color not only looks modern but also serves as a practical cue for routing, zoning, or priority networks, making ongoing maintenance and upgrades simpler and faster.
• Durability and broad compatibility with a focus on reliability — Designed for dependable, long-term operation, these jacks are engineered to deliver consistent performance when paired with compatible CAT6 cables. They maintain solid contact with minimal signal degradation, helping to preserve data integrity in everyday environments. The universal wiring, CAT6 compliance, and backward compatibility with older CAT5e/5/3 components provide a versatile solution that scales from small offices to larger deployments without sacrificing reliability or ease of use.

How to install Black Box GigaTrue2 CAT6 Jacks

• Plan your wiring scheme and select either T568A or T568B. Verify that your patch panels, faceplates, or wall plates use standard Keystone cutouts to ensure a clean fit.
• Prepare the cable bundle by stripping back the jacket to expose individual conductors. Trim the conductors to the required length and arrange them in the correct order for your chosen wiring scheme, taking care to untwist only the minimum amount necessary to maintain clean terminations.
• Terminate conductors into the jack following the T568A or T568B sequence. Ensure each conductor is fully inserted and seated with proper strain relief to prevent loosening or misalignment over time.
• Snap the terminated jack into the Keystone opening on your patch panel, wall plate, or distribution panel. Confirm it sits flush with surrounding modules and does not protrude or tilt during panel assembly or cable routing.
• Test the completed link with a cable tester to verify continuity, correct pinout, and overall performance. Label the port for easy future maintenance and monitor performance during initial use to confirm stability under real-world traffic.
