Keystone Jack ACT TD6021 CAT6 completamente schermato Punch Down

The ACT CAT6 Keystone Jack TD6021 is a full shielded punch down connector designed for dependable Ethernet terminations. It combines an RJ45 outlet on the front with an IDC punch-down interface at the rear, providing a secure physical and electrical connection within structured cabling installations. Constructed from durable steel and featuring full shielding, the keystone jack reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity for high-speed CAT6 networks.

Advantages

The full metal housing and integrated shielding provide enhanced protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic noise, improving overall link stability. The punch-down IDC termination simplifies field installation without soldering, while the RJ45 interface supports standard modular plugs for easy patching. Its compact keystone form factor fits industry-standard faceplates and patch panels, enabling flexible placement within outlets and racks.

Suitable for

• Wiring CAT6 Ethernet runs in office and residential structured cabling systems
• High-speed LAN connections for switches, routers and patch panels
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference where shielding is required
• Retrofit or new installations that use keystone wall plates or modular panels

Key specifications

• Category rating: CAT6 performance for up to 250 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 outlet (front) and IDC punch-down termination (rear)
• Shielding: Full metal (100% shielded) housing for EMI/RFI protection
• Material: Steel housing with plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Termination type: 110/IDC punch-down compatible
• Form factor: Standard keystone module for faceplates and patch panels

How to use

Mount the keystone jack into a compatible wall plate or patch panel until it snaps into place. Arrange the CAT6 cable pairs according to the colour code printed on the jack, then terminate each conductor into the IDC slots using a suitable punch-down tool, ensuring each wire is fully seated and trimmed. Connect the RJ45 modular plug from the patch cable to the front port to complete the link. Verify continuity and performance with a cable tester and, if required, secure shielding continuity by bonding the jack’s metal housing to the building ground.

Recommendations

Use a proper punch-down tool and follow TIA/EIA wiring standards to preserve CAT6 performance. Maintain appropriate cable bend radius and avoid running data cables alongside high-voltage power lines. For installations requiring maximum shielding continuity, ensure the jack’s housing is properly grounded through the faceplate or patch panel chassis.
