CAT6 Keystone Jack Ivory 25 Pack - PoE++ Rated Slim 180

In this review of the ICC CAT6 Keystone Jack 25 pack in ivory, the bottom line is straightforward: it is for installers and IT managers who need dense, government-compliant jacks that support high-power PoE devices. The review finds the slim, 180 degree punch-down design and PoE++ rating to be the single biggest reason to buy, because it combines space-saving density with support for up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet, making it suitable for modern camera and access point deployments while fitting standard wall plates and patch panels.

Key Features

• PoE++ rated contacts: 50 micro-inch gold over nickel plating delivers reliable contact integrity and supports up to 100 watts for high-power devices.
• Fast 4-pair termination: Designed to work with ICC's JackEasy tool to terminate all four pairs in one squeeze, speeding up large installs.
• Slim profile 180 degree punch down: The smaller rear footprint maximizes port density in patch panels and tight work areas without sacrificing performance.
• TAA compliant and UL listed: Meets U.S. government requirements and safety standards, providing assurance for public sector and enterprise projects.
• Durable IDC and plug cycles: Phosphor bronze IDC pins survive 100+ re-terminations and the jack supports over 750 plug-to-jack insertions for long service life.

Who It's For

The ICC 25-pack is best for network installers, facilities teams, and integrators who deploy multiple endpoints such as PTZ cameras, VoIP phones, and Wi-Fi access points that may require PoE++ power delivery, and who value TAA compliance for government or contracted work. Its slim rear design is also a plus for technicians working in dense patch panels or shallow wall boxes where space is limited.

Those who should look elsewhere include casual home users who only need a handful of jacks or non-PoE installs, and purchasers who prefer color-matched brand connectors for proprietary faceplates; this product is optimized for performance and density rather than decorative variety.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-power PoE++ support enables powering demanding networked devices without separate power runs.
• Slim 180 degree profile increases port density in patch panels and tight installations.

Cons

• Sold in a 25-pack which may be more than needed for small projects or single-drop jobs.
