Corning XF500006440 Keystone RJ45 UTP Cat.6A Tool-Less Module

Corning XF500006440 Keystone RJ45 UTP Cat.6A is a professional unshielded network module from the Corning Everon V500 series, designed for high-performance Category 6A structured cabling systems. The module features a standard RJ45 8P8C interface and is used to create permanent network connection points in data outlets, modular patch panels, surface-mount boxes, and other structured cabling components.

Cat.6A performance makes the module suitable for modern data networks with transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s using 10GBASE-T technology. This makes the Corning XF500006440 suitable for office networks, server rooms, data centers, telecommunications facilities, commercial buildings, and other installations where reliable high-speed copper connectivity is required.

The module is designed in an unshielded UTP configuration for use with unshielded twisted-pair cabling. Thanks to its tool-less termination design, cable installation is faster and more convenient and does not require a conventional punch-down impact tool.

What is the Keystone RJ45 Cat.6A module used for?

Corning XF500006440 Keystone is used as a termination point in copper structured cabling systems. After cable termination, the module provides a standard RJ45 port for connecting patch cords, computers, servers, network switches, IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, and other Ethernet devices.

The module can be used for network port installation in:

• Keystone data and computer outlets;
• modular RJ45 patch panels;
• wall-mounted and surface-mount Keystone boxes;
• server and telecommunications cabinets;
• office structured cabling systems;
• server rooms and data centers;
• enterprise local area networks;
• IP video surveillance systems with PoE data and power transmission;
• networks with Wi-Fi access points;
• IP telephony systems;
• Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.

Cat.6A performance and 10 Gigabit Ethernet support

The Corning Everon V500 XF500006440 network module complies with Cat.6A performance requirements and is designed for modern high-speed structured cabling systems.

The module is suitable for 10GBASE-T technology and can be used in Ethernet networks with data transmission speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s, provided that the appropriate cable, patch cords, patch panels, and other compatible components are used.

Using components of the same performance category throughout the entire cabling channel helps maintain the required transmission parameters and reliable operation of high-speed network equipment.

Tool-less termination

One of the key features of the Corning XF500006440 Keystone RJ45 module is its tool-less termination design. A conventional punch-down impact tool is not required for terminating the conductors.

The cable conductors are placed into the appropriate contacts and secured by the module's termination mechanism. This design is particularly useful when installing a large number of data outlets or patch panel ports because it helps reduce installation time.

Tool-less termination also simplifies structured cabling installation and reduces the amount of specialized equipment required by the installer.

Three cable entry options

The Corning Everon V500 design provides three cable entry directions. This allows the installer to select the most convenient cable routing depending on the outlet, patch panel, surface-mount box, or available space inside a telecommunications cabinet.

The ability to select the cable entry direction helps reduce unnecessary cable bending and makes it easier to maintain the recommended bend radius. This is particularly useful with Cat.6A cables, which may have a larger outer diameter than lower-category network cables.

Maintaining twisted-pair geometry

When terminating network cable, it is important to preserve the factory twist of the conductors as close as possible to the module contact area. Excessive untwisting of the pairs may negatively affect the electrical performance of the cabling channel.

The module design allows conductors to be terminated neatly while minimizing disruption to the twisted-pair geometry. This is especially important when building Cat.6A and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.

PoE, PoE+ and 4PPoE support

Corning XF500006440 is suitable for Ethernet networks that transmit electrical power over twisted-pair cabling. The module supports PoE, PoE+ and 4PPoE applications.

Support for power transmission up to 90 W allows the module to be used with compatible network devices powered directly through Ethernet cabling.

Such equipment may include:

• IP surveillance cameras;
• PTZ network cameras;
• Wi-Fi access points;
• IP phones;
• VoIP equipment;
• network controllers;
• terminals and other compatible PoE devices.

The module also features an integrated protective shutter, helping protect the connector area from contamination when a patch cord is not connected.

Cable compatibility

Corning XF500006440 is designed for termination of copper twisted-pair network cable. The manufacturer specifies compatibility with 22–24 AWG conductors.

The maximum insulation diameter of an individual conductor is up to 1.6 mm.

To achieve full Cat.6A channel performance, it is recommended to use network cable, patch cords, patch panels, and other components that meet the required structured cabling category.

Installation recommendations

Before termination, prepare the cable by removing only the required length of the outer jacket. The twisted pairs should remain twisted as close as possible to the Keystone module contact area.

Thanks to the tool-less design, the conductors are inserted into the appropriate termination positions and secured by the module mechanism without using a conventional punch-down impact tool.

After installation, it is recommended to test the completed cabling line with a network cable tester. For professional Cat.6A installations, certification testing equipment is recommended to verify the performance of the structured cabling channel.

During cable installation, the recommended bend radius should be observed and excessive mechanical stress near the installed RJ45 module should be avoided.
