What is a High Density Keystone Jack?

Keystone jacks are keystone module connectors used in data communication and LAN wiring. It is the female connector that is usually mounted in a wall plate or patch panel and it is connected to the matching male connector, called the keystone plug.

A keystone module is a snap-in package that is used for mounting various types of low-voltage electrical jacks. It can also be used for mounting optical connectors into the wall plate or patch panel.

A keystone jack is a standardized plug in package for mounting low voltage electrical. It is commonly referred to as a module which is used to connect in to various keystone wall plates, surface mount boxes and patch panels. You can think of a keystone jack as a cube with many different uses. Each keystone jack has different functions for different cables.

This is why you'll see keystone jacks / modules available in different types:

• Keystone Module
• Keystone Jack
• RJ45 Jack
• 6P6C 6-position 6-conductor
• 8P8C 8-position 8-conductor
•  F Connector
• RCA Jack
• USB Jack
•  Banana Connectors

A high density keystone jack 

A high density keystone jack has the same snap-in dimensions as a standard keystone jack. The front profile is just like a standard keystone jack. Both jacks come in a rectangular shape and have flexible tabs. The standard and high density keystone jacks look similar and serve the same purpose.

The only difference between the standard and high density keystone jack is in the rear physical profile. The standard type jack is much bigger. The high density keystone jack has a slimmer rear profile, allowing more jacks to be installed in less space. Due to the narrower rear profile, high density patch panels or wall plates are also much narrower and accommodate more keystone jacks.

Which Keystone jack should you choose? Standard keystone jacks are more commonly used, but if you are working with space constraints, you may want to consider high density keystone jacks. They will allow you to establish more connections with a smaller footprint. In order to provide a good connection, it is necessary to make sure the wires are crimped on the keystone jack properly. You will be able to minimize the electromagnetic interruption (EMI), crosstalk, weak signal, loss of data, interference and more with a secure connection.
