How to Install the NetKey Keystone Style Jack Module (NK5E88MWHY)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and terminating the NetKey Keystone Style Jack Module for optimal network performance.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Wire snipping tool, Snap Tool or Slip Lock Pliers

Supplies needed:

Category 5E twisted pair cable, Termination caps

  1. Prepare the cable

    Remove 3 inches (76.2mm) of the cable jacket and untwist the pairs of wires. 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 on an angle, and insert them into the cap.

  3. Secure the termination cap

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

  4. Trim the conductors

    Using a wire snipping tool, trim the conductors flush with the cap to ensure a clean and secure termination.

  5. Verify the installation

    Check that the cable jacket is inside the cover and that the termination is secure. Ensure that the installation follows TIA/EIA 568A guidelines for optimal performance.
