CAT6 Keystone Jack White 400 Pack - PoE++ Rated Slim 180-Degree

In this review of the ICC CAT6 Keystone Jack 400 pack, the bottom line is simple: installers and network managers who need high-density, government-compliant CAT6 terminations will find strong value here. The most compelling reason to buy is the combination of a slim 180-degree punch-down body with PoE++ support, which lets a single jack handle Gigabit data and up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet reliably in tight spaces. This review examines build quality, compatibility, and real-world usability for wall plates and patch panels.

Key Features

• PoE++ rated contacts: 50 micro-inch gold plated contacts over 100 micro-inch nickel provide reliable connections and support up to 100 watts for high-power devices such as PTZ cameras.
• Fast 4-pair termination: Designed to work with the JackEasy 4-pair termination tool so all four pairs can be punched down in a single squeeze for speed on install jobs.
• Slim profile design: The smaller rear footprint maximizes space in modular patch panels and work area outlets for denser port counts in racks and plates.
• TAA and Section 889 compliant: Manufactured to meet U.S. government sourcing and performance standards, including UL Listing and RoHS compliance for regulated deployments.
• Durable IDC and contacts: Phosphor bronze IDC pins withstand more than 100 re-terminations and the jacks support over 750 plug-to-jack insertions for long service life.
• Backward compatibility: Works with CAT5e and CAT5 cabling and patch components so it integrates with mixed infrastructure during upgrades.

Who It's For

This pack is best for network installers, contractors, and IT teams who terminate runs frequently and need consistent, government-compliant CAT6 performance across many ports. The 400-pack format suits new builds, large retrofits, or stocking for recurring field jobs where PoE++ support and density matter.

Less appropriate for someone who only terminates a handful of jacks or who needs colored single jacks for visible patch panels; hobbyists or highly occasional users may prefer smaller packs or individual keystone options to avoid excess inventory.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-power PoE++ support enables powering demanding devices without separate power infrastructure.
• Slim 180-degree body increases port density in panels and wall plates where space is limited.
• Speedy 4-pair termination compatible with the JackEasy tool reduces labor time on large installs.
• Meets TAA, UL, RoHS and ETL verifications for regulated environments.

Cons

• Available only in bulk 400-pack may be more than needed for small projects or DIY users.
• No color options in this pack, which may require additional labeling in mixed installations.
