General Description

These jacks are white in color.

Technical Information

The jacks are labeled for both T568A and T568B wiring schemes. In the USA, T568B is very common. If you use T568B, the wire colors are connected to the pins as shown below:

RJ45 Pin	Wire Color	Stripe	Signal
1	White	Orange	TX+
2	Orange	White	TX-
3	White	Green	RX+
4	Blue	White	unused
5	White	Blue	unused
6	Green	White	RX-
7	White	Brown	unused
8	Brown	White	unused

The wires with corresponding colors (e.g. white with orange stripe and orange with white stripe) are twisted in the network cabling and should remain twisted as much as possible when terminating the cable at a jack. To facilitate this, the jack brings the connections out with the paired wires adjacent to each other.

Installation Instructions

1. Strip back the outer jacket on the CAT5(e) cable (around 3/4" to 1" is typical) and separate the four wire pairs.
2. Open the plastic clamp on the keystone jack and insert one pair according to the colors shown on the jack (568B colors in the USA). Which pair you do first does not matter, although it generally works best to work from one end to the other. Insert the wires at approximately a 45° angle, trying to insert as close to the plastic clamp hinge as possible.
3. Close the plastic clamp (this forces the wires down into the insulation displacement prongs) to connect that pair of wires.
4. For each remaining pair, reopen the plastic clamp, insert, and close. Do not try to clamp all wires at once.
5. When all wires are clamped in, insert the key lock behind the plastic clamp to secure it closed.
