Overview

The Panduit NetKey NK5E88MBUY is a high-quality Cat 5e UTP RJ45 Leadframe Keystone Jack Module engineered for reliable network terminations. Designed to terminate 4-pair, 22-24 AWG twisted pair cable, this module ensures robust data connectivity for your network infrastructure. Each NK5E88MBUY module undergoes rigorous 100% factory testing for continuity, guaranteeing optimal performance and minimizing the risk of connection failures. The contacts are plated with 50 microinches of gold, a critical feature that provides superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, essential for maintaining signal integrity over time. This keystone jack module is designed for seamless compatibility with a wide range of keystone interfaces, including Panduit's own NetKey Faceplates, Modular Patch Panels, and Surface Mount Boxes, offering flexibility in installation and system design. The distinctive blue color of this jack module aids in visual identification and cable management within your network setup. Leveraging patented IDC V-shaped contacts that flex without fatigue during termination, this jack promotes long-term reliability. Pointed IDC towers are incorporated to expedite the termination process and enhance cable retention, ensuring a secure and stable connection. The NK5E88MBUY supports dual color coding for both 568A and 568B wiring schemes, providing installation flexibility. It is also RJ11 and RJ12 compatible. Molded category identification is present on the jack face for easy reference. This module is ideal for data applications rated up to 1 Gb, optimizing electrical performance by reducing the distance between wire twists and contacts when properly seated over the cable jacket.

How to Install the NetKey Keystone Style Jack Module

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the NetKey Keystone Style Jack Module (NK5E88MBUY).

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Wire snipping tool

Supplies needed:

Cable jacket, Keystone jack module

  1. Prepare the cable

    Remove 3 inches (76.2mm) of the cable jacket and untwist the pairs of conductors. Ensure the conductors are straightened and arranged in the proper color sequence.

  2. Insert conductors into the cap

    Pull the conductors until the outer jacket is inside the cap. Bend the conductors up at a 90-degree angle, cut them at an angle, and insert them into the cap.

  3. Secure the cap

    Snap the cap squarely onto the housing until it clicks. Trim the conductors flush with the cap using a wire snipping tool, ensuring the cable jacket remains inside the cover.

  4. Finalize the termination

    Use a Snap Tool or standard Slip Lock Pliers to apply pressure to the cap until it clicks again, ensuring the cap is flush on the housing.

  5. Verify installation

    Check that the installation follows TIA/EIA 568A guidelines and that the module is securely mounted and properly wired.
