RJ45 Keystone Jacks:


The RJ45 jack is an 8-conductor, compact, modular jack used to terminate UTP data cable. RJ45 jacks are engineered to maintain specific Category 5, 5e, 6, or 6A, and Cat 8 performance, and therefore must match the category of the cable they are terminating.  our QuickTreX RJ45 Keystone Jacks we have Cat 5E Keystone Jacks, Cat 6 Keystone Jacks, Cat 6 Shielded Keystone Jacks, Cat 6A Keystone Jacks, Cat 6A Shielded Keystone Jacks, and Cat 8 Keystone Jacks.  We offer our Cat 5E and Cat 6, and Cat 6A Jacks in both 90 degree and 180 degree styles.  All of our keystone jacks are TAA Compliant, RoHS Compliant, and UL Listed.  We also offer 11 different color options in our Cat 5E and Cat 6 Jacks.



RJ45 Couplers: 


RJ45 Couplers are designed to provide a easy coupling and feed-through option for Ethernet Cables.  They allow you to plug a RJ45 Modular plug into both side providing a flawless couling of Ethernet connectors.  We offer RJ45 Keystone Couplers, Panel Mount RJ45 Couplers, and RJ45 Feed Through Couplers.  RJ45 Keystone Couplers are designed to snap into any keystone port found on patch panels, keystone wall plates, surface mount boxes, and other panels and brackets designed for keystones.  Panel mount couplers are circular and designed to mount  to panels with a circular hold made to the size of the coupler.  They come with a grommet and nut that is threaded around it.  Stand along feed through couplers are exactly as they sounds.  They do not mount to anything and are left along providing a unattached or unmounted coupling of Ethernet connectors.  For our QuickTreX RJ45 Keystone Couplers we have Cat 5E Keystone Couplers, Cat 6 Keystone Couplers, Cat 6 Shielded Keystone Couplers, Cat 6A Keystone Couplers, Cat 6A Shielded Keystone Couplers, Cat 6 Shielded Outdoor IP68 Panel Mount Couplers, Cat 6 Outdoor IP68 Shielded Feed-Through Coupler, and Coaxial F Couplers.  All of our standard Cat 5E, Cat 6, and Cat 6A Keystone Couplers are TAA Compliant, RoHS Compliant, and UL Listed. 




RJ45 Modular Plugs:


RJ45 Modular plugs are the made end of an Ethernet cable.  They are designed to be inserted into RJ45 keystone jacks, network switches, or any other LAN port found on modems, computers, and other similar equipment.  These are typically terminated with a RJ45 Modular crimper.  There are toolless modular plugs that do not require crimping.  We have Cat 5E UTP RJ45 Modular Plugs with Loadbars, Cat 6 UTP RJ45 Modular Plugs with Loadbars, Cat 6E / 5E Shielded Modular Plugs with Loadbar, and Cat 6A Shielded Modular Plugs with Loadbar.  All of these plugs are made in the USA and are RoHS Compliant.  We also have Cat 8 Shielded Modular Plugs with Loadbar and Cat 8 Shielded Toolless Modular Plugs.  Our Cat 8 Shielded Modular Plugs are rated for up to 40Gigabit speeds. 




RJ45 Strain Relief Boots:  


RJ45 Strain Relief Boots are used to protect your modular plug termination and provide strain relief to the conductors that are terminated into the plug.  These cables are often flexed and routed through panels, racks, and areas that have tight bend radiuses.  Strain relief boots also provide a clean look of your cable installation.  We have standard RJ45 Snagless Boots to fit standard cat 5 and 6 cabling, our 8mm RJ45 Strain Relief Boots to fit our Cat 6A cable and modular plugs, and our Large Outer Diameter Cat 8 RJ45 Strain Relief Boots to fit the thicker diameter cat 8 cable. 




We also offer a full range of RJ45 Keystone Wall Plates to fit your custom cable installation.  You can choose a matte finish, premium gloss finish, or wall plate with labeling windows.  These wall plates come in white, black, and ivory color options.  We also have recessed and feed flexible feed-through wall plates in various sizes, and stainless steel panel mount wall plates for outdoor and harsh environment locations.  Our 1 and 2 RJ45 surface mount boxes come in both white and ivory.  Last, we have Network Splitters and Voice Data Splitters which allow you to split a network RJ45 Keystone Jack or Voice Jack into two separate jacks.
