RJ45 Connectors & Keystones

In AV and networking installations, the reliability of your connections hinges on the quality of your terminations. Choosing the right RJ45 connectors and keystone jacks ensures optimal signal integrity, reduces downtime, and supports high-performance applications like 10G Ethernet and PoE.

1. Key Considerations

Purpose and Application
  • Residential AV: Unshielded connectors and keystones are typically sufficient.
  • Commercial Installations: Shielded components are recommended to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Outdoor or Industrial Environments: Use connectors and keystones with higher durability and environmental resistance.
Cable Type Compatibility
  • Cat5e/Cat6: Standard for most applications; ensure connectors match cable specifications.
  • Cat6a/Cat7: Support higher frequencies and data rates; require compatible connectors and keystones.
