CERTECH Cat6A STP Side-Entry Keystone Jack with Dust Shutter - 6 Pack

CERTECH Cat6A STP Side-Entry Keystone Jack with Dust Shutter (6-Pack)

Built for demanding structured cabling projects, this CERTECH Cat6A shielded keystone jack is engineered for fast, tool-free termination of Cat6A shielded (STP) cable. The side-entry design routes cable through left or right knockouts rather than straight out the back, making it ideal for tight wall cavities, floor boxes and other confined installation spaces where a standard rear-entry jack won't fit cleanly. A built-in dust shutter automatically closes over unused ports to keep contacts free of dust and debris, which is especially useful in schools, workshops and other high-traffic environments. This pack contains six jacks, giving installers and IT integrators an economical option for smaller jobs, patch panel top-ups or maintenance stock.

Key Features

• Tool-free termination - snaps into place without a punch-down tool, speeding up installation and reducing termination errors
• Side (90°) cable entry - knockouts on both the left and right sides suit tight or confined spaces such as floor boxes and shallow wall cavities
• Integrated dust shutter - automatically shields internal contacts from dust and contamination when the port is not in use
• Fully enclosed IDCs - insulation displacement contacts are protected for consistent, long-term connection quality
• Dual earth connection points - supports robust grounding for reliable shielded performance
• Cat6A / Class EA rated - supports high-bandwidth applications including 10GBASE-T Ethernet
• UL Listed and ETL/DELTA verified - independently tested for Cat6A component performance and safety
• RoHS and REACH compliant - manufactured to current environmental and safety standards
• Backed by CERTECH's system warranty - when paired with CERTECH Cat6A shielded cable and installed by a certified installer, links can qualify for CERTECH's long-term system warranty program

Typical Applications

This jack suits office fitouts, education facilities, data cabinets and any structured cabling deployment that calls for shielded Cat6A performance in a compact footprint. The side-entry, dust-shuttered design is particularly well suited to floor boxes, skirting trunking and shallow surface-mount enclosures where cable can't exit straight out the rear of the jack, as well as environments where dust ingress is a concern for long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this jack require a termination tool?
No. It uses a tool-free, snap-style termination method designed to speed up installation and improve termination consistency.

Can this jack be used with unshielded (UTP) cable?
This jack is designed specifically for Cat6A shielded (STP) cable to maintain shielding continuity and grounding performance; for unshielded cabling, CERTECH's UTP keystone jack range is the appropriate choice.

What is the benefit of the side-entry design over a standard rear-entry jack?
Side entry allows the cable to exit from either the left or right knockout rather than straight out the back, which is useful in shallow or confined spaces like floor boxes where there isn't room for a 180° cable bend.
