Eaton N238-025-BK-6A Cat6a Keystone Jack 4PPoE

Overview :

The Eaton N238-025-BK-6A is a Cat6a RJ45 keystone jack set (25-pack) designed for structured cabling termination in copper Ethernet networks. It is deployed by network installers, data center technicians, and low-voltage contractors to terminate horizontal cabling into patch panels, wall plates, and surface-mount boxes while maintaining Category 6a performance requirements.

Each keystone jack supports Cat6a cabling with performance up to 650 MHz and enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over copper infrastructure. The jacks use IDC punch-down termination compatible with both 110 and Krone tools, allowing flexible installation across regional standards. Integrated support for Type 4 Power over Ethernet (4PPoE / PoE++) enables simultaneous data and high-power delivery to connected endpoints such as access points, IP cameras, and VoIP systems.

These keystone modules are used in structured cabling systems across enterprise networks, IDF/MDF rooms, and commercial building infrastructure. They are typically installed in rack-mounted patch panels or wall outlets to provide modular, serviceable RJ45 termination points in high-density copper deployments.

The N238-025-BK-6A integrates with any standard keystone-compatible patch panel, faceplate, or surface box within a 19-inch rack ecosystem or building cabling system. It aligns with EIA/TIA Cat6a standards and supports both 568A and 568B wiring schemes, ensuring compatibility across mixed cabling environments.

In a typical deployment, installers terminate horizontal Cat6a cable runs into these keystones within patch panels, then connect switches via short patch cords. This modular approach simplifies MAC operations and reduces downtime when reconfiguring network ports in enterprise or data center racks.

This product should not be used in environments requiring shielded (STP) termination unless paired with compatible shielded systems. It is also not intended for direct outdoor exposure or environments requiring IP-rated or hardened connectors.
