How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat6/Cat5e 110 Style Punch Down Keystone Jack

• Plan your cabling layout to determine the exact location of each keystone jack and ensure the pathway supports the required cable radius and bend limits.
• Prepare the Cat5e or Cat6 cable by stripping the outer jacket back approximately 1 inch (25 mm) and neatly arranging the wire pairs without excessive untwisting.
• Untwist each pair just enough to reach the termination slots on the 110-style jack, following the 568B color code: orange, green, blue, and brown pairs.
• Insert each conductor into its corresponding color-matched slot on the jack and use a 110-style punch-down tool to terminate the wires securely to the contacts.
• Inspect the terminated wires for a clean, even seating in the slots; trim any excess lead flush with the jack if needed to prevent interference with the modular faceplate.
• Snap the punched-down keystone into the faceplate or patch panel module and secure the assembly in its intended location. Route any cable slack to prevent strain on the termination.
• Test the installed link with a certified network tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and overall performance. Confirm proper channel identification and compliance with Cat6 or Cat5e specifications as applicable.
