Keystone-module S/CONN 08-10030 plat metallic RJ-45

The ShiverPeaks Keystone Module S/CONN 08-10030 Flat Metallic RJ-45 is a single-port keystone insert with a flat profile and metallic finish designed for network patch panels, wall plates and keystone housings. This RJ-45 module supports standard Ethernet cabling terminations and is intended to provide a compact, low-profile connection point for copper twisted-pair data cables. Packaged as one module per unit, it offers a robust metal housing for improved mechanical durability and consistent signal contact for everyday networking use.

Advantages

The flat metallic RJ-45 keystone module combines a space-saving low-profile design with a sturdy metal construction that resists wear and provides stable RJ-45 mating. Its compatible keystone dimensions make it easy to snap into standard faceplates and patch panels without additional adapters. The metal housing improves shielding against mechanical stress and supports reliable connector alignment for frequent plug cycles.

Suitable for

• Home and small office Ethernet ports in wall plates or patch panels
• Structured cabling installations requiring low-profile keystone inserts
• Environments where a durable metallic connector housing is preferred
• Upgrading or replacing single RJ-45 keystone modules in existing outlets

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 keystone insert
• Construction: flat profile, metallic housing
• Mounting: standard keystone snap-in dimensions for faceplates and panels
• Contact interface: 8P8C modular RJ-45 mating
• Pack quantity: single module per package

How to use

Prepare the Ethernet cable following the chosen wiring standard and terminate the conductors into the matching RJ-45 termination block or punch-down adapter if required. Snap the keystone module into a compatible faceplate or patch panel opening until it clicks into place. Insert a terminated RJ-45 patch cable into the module for network connectivity. For removal, depress the retaining tab and pull the module out of the keystone opening while supporting the surrounding plate to avoid stress on adjacent modules.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the module with properly shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling consistent with your system design and ensure terminations are performed with correct tools and standards. Periodically inspect connector mating surfaces for debris and ensure that panels and faceplates are installed without over-tightening to avoid deforming the module housing.
