CAT6 Keystone Jack Ivory 10 Pack - Slim 180 Punch Down, PoE

Our review of the ICC CAT6 Keystone Jack Ivory 10 Pack finds this module best suited for installers and small IT teams who need a compact, government-compliant keystone for high-power PoE deployments. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a slim HD body that saves space in patch panels and wall plates plus PoE++ rated contacts that support up to 100 watts, making it practical for powering PTZ cameras and other demanding devices while preserving density in rack or work area outlets.

Key Features

• PoE++ rated contacts: 50 micro-inch gold plating over nickel provides reliable connection and supports up to 100 watts for high-power networked devices.
• Slim profile: The smaller rear footprint maximizes space in patch panels and wall plates, letting you fit more ports in the same area.
• Fast 4-pair termination: Works with ICC JackEasy 4-pair tool to punch down all four pairs in a single squeeze for quicker installs.
• Durable IDC and connector: Phosphor bronze IDC pins withstand 100+ re-terminations and the jack supports over 750 plug-to-jack insertion cycles.
• Standards and compliance: TAA compliant, Section 889 certified, UL 1863 listed and RoHS compliant, suitable for government and enterprise projects.

Who It's For

This 10 pack is aimed at professional installers, IT administrators, and security integrators who need a compact CAT6 keystone that can deliver high-power PoE and maintain Gigabit performance. The slim body and compatible wiring diagrams printed on the IDC make it a practical choice when density and consistent terminations matter.

Those who should look elsewhere include home hobbyists wanting mixed-color ports or single replacement jacks with different trim; also, if you require shielded connectors or nonstandard form factors, seek a model designed for those specifics.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High retention gold contacts and PoE++ rating for reliable power delivery to cameras and other devices.
• Slim HD design preserves valuable panel and wall space for higher port counts in dense installations.
• Fast 4-pair termination compatibility and durable IDC pins make repeated terminations and large installs easier.
• Meets TIA and IEEE standards and is TAA compliant for government procurement.

Cons

• Only available in ivory in this pack, so color matching is limited for mixed-plate aesthetics.
• Not a shielded jack, so it is not intended for installations requiring STP connectors.
