ProLink CAT6 UTP 1G Keystone Jack Mini Type (Model: PL-KJ6-TL) is a professional Category 6 tool-less RJ45 keystone jack designed for structured cabling systems. It provides fast and reliable termination of copper Ethernet cables without requiring specialized punch-down tools. The rotating tool-less connection module simplifies installation while maintaining Category 6 Class E performance up to 500 MHz in accordance with ISO/IEC 11801.
Designed for installation in RJ45 wall outlets, patch panels, and telecommunications distribution points, the PL-KJ6-TL minimizes conductor untwist during termination to help maintain consistent electrical performance. Its reusable design supports multiple re-terminations without compromising connection quality, making it suitable for enterprise LAN installations, commercial buildings, and data center environments.
