InLine Keystone RJ45 Socket Slim, SNAP-In, Cat.8.1, Integrated Cable Tie

The InLine Keystone RJ45 jack slim SNAP-In Cat.8.1 integrated cable tie is a compact female-to-female keystone module engineered for Cat.8.1 network environments. Its slim housing measures 14.5 mm in width, 31.8 mm in depth and 19.4 mm in height, allowing installation in standard keystone panels, patch panels or wall plates where space is limited. The SNAP-In mounting and the integrated cable tie provide a secure mechanical connection and strain relief for shielded or unshielded high-speed Ethernet links.

Advantages

This keystone jack supports Cat.8.1 performance levels and is designed to maintain signal integrity in short-range 2 GHz cabling runs. The SNAP-In form factor simplifies installation into compatible frames without additional screws, while the built-in cable tie offers immediate cable fixation and improved strain relief. The small footprint makes it suitable for dense installations and retrofits where panel space is constrained.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centres and server cabinets with short-range Cat.8.1 links
• Keystone wall plates and patch panels that require compact modules
• Field installations needing quick SNAP-In mounting and integrated cable securing
• Environments where reliable strain relief and minimal module depth are required

Key specifications

• Category performance: Cat.8.1
• Connector configuration: female-to-female (keystone to RJ45)
• Mounting type: SNAP-In keystone module
• Integrated feature: built-in cable tie for strain relief
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 14.5 mm × 31.8 mm × 19.4 mm
• Form factor: slim/low-profile keystone

How to use

Insert the slim SNAP-In keystone jack into a compatible keystone opening until it clicks into place. Route the network cable through the module and terminate the cable to the mating RJ45 connector or patch cable as required by your cabling plan. Use the integrated cable tie to secure the cable and provide strain relief by tightening it around the cable jacket; ensure the tie is snug but not over-tightened to avoid damaging the cable shielding or conductors. Verify continuity and performance with appropriate test tools after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal Cat.8.1 performance, keep cable run lengths and connector mating within the standard limitations for high-frequency links, use compatible shielded components where required, and perform certification testing after installation to confirm bandwidth and return loss parameters.
