Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 180-degree keystone jack and how does it differ from 90-degree jacks?
A 180-degree jack terminates the incoming cable straight back out, allowing cables to route horizontally behind patch panels. A 90-degree jack angles the cable downward, useful for wall outlets and tight spaces. Choose 180-degree for panel-mounted use where cables exit behind the equipment.
Can this keystone jack support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, the Avalon Cat.6 180° keystone jack is engineered for 10 Gigabit data transmission, making it suitable for both current Gigabit Ethernet and emerging multi-gig network deployments.
Where can I snap this jack into place?
The 180-degree jack snaps securely into blank patch panels, wall outlet boxes, and surface-mount enclosures. Its snap-fit design allows quick installation without tools.
Is this jack suitable for telephone applications?
While the RJ45 connector is physically compatible with voice cabling, this jack is optimized for Gigabit Ethernet data transmission. For dedicated voice applications, Procure.ae offers specialized telephony jacks.
How many times can the RJ45 connector be mated before wear?
The Avalon jack is built for long-term use in production environments. For specific durability metrics such as mating cycle ratings, contact Procure.ae to confirm performance specifications.
Does TIA/EIA-568-C.2 compliance affect performance?
Yes, compliance with TIA/EIA-568-C.2 ensures the jack meets international wiring standards, guaranteeing reliable data transmission at rated speeds. This compliance is essential for professional network certifications and system performance.
How quickly can I get keystone jacks delivered for a patch panel build-out?
Delivery times for keystone jacks depend on order quantity and current stock levels. Contact Procure.ae to confirm lead times and schedule delivery of jacks alongside your panel components.
Do you provide technical support for jack termination and installation?
Procure.ae can advise on standard keystone jack installation and termination practices. For detailed technical support or troubleshooting, reach out to our team.
What connector type does this jack use?
The Avalon Cat.6 180° jack uses a standard RJ45 connector, making it compatible with all RJ45-terminated patch cords and equipment.
Does the jack come with termination instructions?
Keystone jacks follow standard 568A and 568B color-coding conventions. Contact Procure.ae if you need detailed termination guides or training materials for your installation team.
Is a punch-down tool required to install this jack?
Yes, installation requires a standard punch-down tool (110-type or Krone-compatible) to terminate the individual cable pairs. The jack itself snaps into the panel without tools, but pair termination uses push-down methodology.
