VALUE Cat6 UTP Keystone Jack — Tool-Less, White
Cat6 / Class EUTPTool-lessAWG 23–26
The VALUE 26.99.0363 is a white Cat6 (Class E) unshielded RJ45 keystone jack with tool-less termination, for building your own patch panels, wall outlets and surface boxes with solid or stranded installation cable from AWG 23 to 26.
Instead of a punch-down tool, you lay the wires into the colour-coded guides, close the cap and press it shut — the insulation-displacement contacts make the connection. That makes it practical for small installations, repairs and for anyone who terminates only a few points and does not own an LSA tool. The keystone format snaps into empty keystone patch panels and modular outlets.
Before you order: This is an unshielded (UTP) module: use it with U/UTP cable and unshielded panels. For shielded (S/FTP, F/UTP) cabling choose a shielded keystone, and for 10G over longer runs a Cat6A module.
What's in the Box
- 1 × VALUE Cat6 UTP keystone jack, tool-less, white
What It Means in Practice
- Colour codes for both T568A and T568B are printed on the module — use the same scheme at both ends of the link.
- Accepts cable conductors from AWG 23 (typical Cat6) to AWG 26 (slim patch cable).
- Rated for at least 250 re-terminations of the IDC and 750 plug insertions, so it survives re-patching.
- Gigabit Ethernet and Cat6 permanent links are what it is made for; keep the untwisted wire length as short as possible.
What Will Not Work
- It is not a shielded module — it will not ground an S/FTP or F/UTP cable shield.
- It is not Cat6A: for 10GBASE-T over full 100 m channels use a Cat6A keystone.
- It does not fit non-keystone panels with fixed ports or proprietary module formats.
- It is a single module, not a complete wall outlet — the faceplate or keystone panel is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a punch-down tool?
No. The module is tool-less: you lay the wires in the guides and press the cap closed.
Which panel does it fit?
Any standard keystone patch panel or outlet, for example the VALUE 24-port 1U keystone carrier or ROLINE keystone panels.
Can I use it with Cat5e cable?
Yes, if the conductors are within AWG 23–26; the link then performs to the cable’s category.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Tool-less keystones are ideal when you terminate a handful of points and want consistent results without special tools. Plan the whole link in the same category — Cat6 module, Cat6 cable and Cat6 patch cords — and finish the connection to the switch with quality patch leads from our
network cables.
✓ Buy it if you are building or repairing Cat6 UTP outlets or keystone patch panels and want to terminate without a punch-down tool.
✕ Skip it if your cabling is shielded or you need Cat6A for 10 Gbit/s over long runs.
→ Also consider the VALUE Cat6A keystone 26.99.0377, shielded keystone modules, or a 24-port keystone patch panel.
