Extron CAT 6 Jack - Orange (part number 100-479-01) — ten orange RJ-45 keystone jacks, packed together for Category 6 terminations.

Orange reads as an exception. In a wall of otherwise uniform outlets it is the one an operator notices first, which is why cabling schemes assign it to circuits that behave differently from the rest. Each of the ten jacks in this pack takes Category 6 twisted pair and completes the termination without a punch-down tool coming into play, so a single-drop change during a live event does not require dragging out the full termination kit.

Key Capabilities

• Orange keystone housing for high-visibility outlet marking
• Accepts Category 6 twisted pair cable
• Punch-down tool stays out of the termination process
• Conforms to TIA/EIA 568 A wiring

Where It Is Used

Temporary and event-side drops, demarcation outlets, and any run an integrator wants a technician to spot from across the room. Orange also turns up on rack rear panels where a single circuit differs from its neighbours and needs to be identifiable in low light.
