Can the keystone jack be reused following the TIA reliability test?
Yes, the keystone jacks are reusable as long as they are inserted and removed a minimum of 20 times. Our factory examined and tested keystone jacks following TIA-568.2-D and ISO/ IEC 11801 international standards to ensure their quality and long-term use.
The ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Keystone Jack Reliability Test
To reduce negative effects caused by operation and environment in cabling component, a typical reliability test in ANSI/TIA-568.2-D includes the number of mating cycles (insertions and withdrawals) and the number of conductor re-terminations (cable re-terminations) for keystone jacks. Our keystone jacks meet the requirements on mating cycles over 750 times and cable re-terminations a minimum of 20 times.
The ISO/IEC 11801 Keystone Jack Wiring Test
When it comes to ISO/ IEC 11801 standard, we'll run a wiring test that every keystone jack matches with cable wiring 20 times and also conduct continuity testing on all wires. In addition, they'll examine the continuity function with which the connected function is normal. As the below images show testing data lan cables from 22AWG to 26AWG solid cable and 24AWG, 26AWG stranded cable. Through multiple times rewiring, the test result indicated the keystone jack’s continuity function works normally.
Conclusion: Reuseable Keystone Jack Based On International Standard
As above, based on ANSI/TIA durability test and ISO/IEC wiring test, we ensure the keystone jack could be reused at least 20 times without disconnection problems. We are your reliable keystone jack manufacturer, making your connection easier and faster.
Tips For Reusing The Keystone Jack
Guide you to know how to reuse the keystone jack without damage. Keep this in your mind! Check the gauge(AWG) of the ethernet cable before terminating the keystone jack and don’t use the thicker cable toward the thinner one. If you assemble the keystone jack with 26AWG ethernet cable, reusing it backward to 23AWG cable is totally fine. However, if you start with a thicker cable, such as a 23AWG ethernet cable, then there is a problem that reusing it upward to 26AWG. Typically the 23AWG copper wire is thicker than 26AWG one, and the IDC plate will be stretched by a thicker copper wire during the termination of the keystone jack. When you take the thinner Ethernet cable (26AWG) and reuse it to assemble the keystone jack, there might be a disconnection without piercing the conductor.
A Complete Keystone Jack Solution For you
We provide 90 keystone jacks, 180 keystone jacks, toolless keystone jacks, punch down keystone jacks and mini slim keystone jacks. The different types of them to choose from will depend on where to use them. The punch down keystone jack is the common type that installers used a lot. The 180 keystone jack is often used in a patch panel, while the 90 keystone jack is used in a surface mount box. The slim-size keystone jack is used for data centers and other high-density environments where space is limited. No matter whether your project is in the data center, telecommunication room, or commercial building, we always provide the best and high-quality keystone jacks to meet your requirements.
