CERTECH Cat6 RJ45 UTP Straight-Through Keystone Joiner - Black

CERTECH Cat6 RJ45 UTP Straight-Through Keystone Joiner

The CERTECH Cat6 RJ45 UTP Straight-Through Keystone Joiner (JKC6ST) is a compact inline coupler designed to extend or join two Cat6 UTP patch cables without re-terminating either end. Built to snap into standard keystone wall plates and blank patch panels, it gives installers a fast, tool-minimal way to create a reliable straight-through link between two network runs while maintaining Cat6 performance standards.

Key Features

• Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 interface help resist corrosion and maintain a stable, low-resistance connection over time.
• Supports both T568A and T568B wiring colour codes, giving installers flexibility with existing cabling standards.
• Rated for 22-26 AWG stranded and solid copper conductors, suiting most standard Cat6 patch and horizontal cabling.
• Durable polycarbonate RJ45 housing paired with an ABS black jack bracket for long-term mechanical stability.
• Phosphor bronze IDC terminals with nickel and tin-lead plating for dependable termination integrity.
• Rated for approximately 750 mating/unmating cycles at the RJ45 interface, supporting repeated connect-disconnect use.
• Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 70°C, suitable for a variety of indoor installation environments.
• Fits standard keystone-style wall plates, surface mount boxes, and patch panel openings for a clean, professional finish.

Typical Applications

This keystone joiner is ideal wherever two Cat6 UTP cable runs need to be joined without pulling a fresh continuous cable, such as extending an existing outlet, patching through a wall cavity, or connecting a pre-terminated patch lead to a permanent link. It's commonly used by data cabling installers, electricians, and IT technicians in both residential and commercial network installations, including office fit-outs, home networking upgrades, and structured cabling extensions where a low-profile, wall-plate-mounted joint is preferred over a bulky external coupler.
