What Is A Keystone Jack?
A keystone jack is a type of connector used in networking and telecommunications. It is designed to snap into a compatible wall plate, patch panel, or surface mount box, and provides a standardized interface for terminating network cables such as Ethernet, telephone, and fiber optic cables.
The keystone jack typically has a rectangular shape, with a narrow slot in the center for inserting the cable. It has internal components that make the electrical connection between the wires in the cable and the pins in the jack. The jack is usually color-coded for the type of cable it is designed to connect, such as blue for Ethernet or white for telephone.
About Punchdown Tools
A punchdown tool is a handheld tool used to terminate network cables by inserting and cutting the wires into a keystone jack, patch panel, or other termination block. It is commonly used in networking, telecommunications, and data cabling installations.
The punchdown tool typically has a blade or a set of blades that are used to trim the excess wire and secure the remaining wires into the connector. The tool applies pressure to the wires, pushing them into the insulation displacement connector (IDC) slots in the keystone jack or patch panel, creating a secure and reliable connection.
