CAT6 Keystone Jack 10-Pack - PoE++ Rated, EZ Termination

In this review the ICC CAT6 Keystone Jack 10-pack earns attention for installers and IT pros who need reliable, high-power network terminations without fuss. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of PoE++ support and an EZ-style inline IDC that speeds wiring: this jack supports up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet while letting technicians terminate all four pairs quickly with ICCs JackEasy tool. It is a practical choice for upgrading wall plates and patch panels where high-power devices and repeatable terminations matter.

Key Features

• PoE++ rated contacts: 50 micro-inch gold over nickel plating provides contact reliability for devices requiring up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet.
• Fast 4-pair termination: Built for use with the JackEasy termination tool so all four pairs can be seated in a single squeeze, cutting installation time.
• Durable IDC pins: Phosphor bronze alloy IDC pins withstand 100+ re-terminations for repeatable performance during moves and changes.
• In-line 110 IDC wiring: Pair-to-pair wiring without splitting pairs simplifies correct terminations and reduces errors on-site.
• Standards and safety: TAA compliant, UL 1863 listed and ETL verified to meet TIA and IEEE wiring standards for Cat6 performance.
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 cabling and works in both wall plates and patch panels for flexible installation.

Who It's For

The jack is best for network installers, integrators, and IT departments that deploy PoE cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and other high-power devices and want a repeatable, fast termination method. Its EZ-style design and compatibility with a hand termination tool make it especially useful on multi-drop installs and retrofit jobs where speed and reliability save labor costs.

Those who should look elsewhere include hobbyists who only need occasional singular jacks without the intent to use a termination tool, and buyers who require shielded or non-standard jack styles not described here. The product is focused on unshielded Cat6 installations that follow TIA-568 wiring practices.
