Product Information
Full details
This FDL Single Angled Keystone Module is designed for network installers and IT professionals seeking to optimize cable management in structured cabling systems. Its primary benefit is directing cables downwards, preventing outward clutter and improving airflow, though it requires a compatible modular faceplate for installation. This module supports UTP or STP keystone modules and various cable categories (Cat.5e, Cat.6, Cat.6a), featuring a snap-in design with integrated spring-loaded shutters for dust protection.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of an angled keystone module?
The primary advantage is that it directs network cables downwards, which helps to reduce visual clutter, improve airflow, and prevent cables from sticking out awkwardly from the wall or rack.
How many keystone modules can fit in one faceplate?
A standard modular faceplate designed for this module typically accommodates two 25x50mm keystone modules.
Can I use this module with Cat.7 cable?
This module is specified for Cat.5e, Cat.6, and Cat.6a. While you might be able to terminate Cat.7 to a compatible keystone jack, the overall performance would be limited by the Cat.6a rating of the module interface.
Does this module come with a keystone jack?
No, this product is the angled keystone module frame; you will need to purchase a compatible keystone jack separately to terminate your network cable.
What types of cables can I use with this module?
You can use either Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) keystone modules with this angled module frame.
Are the spring-loaded shutters effective against dust?
Yes, the spring-loaded shutters are designed to close when the port is not in use, providing a basic level of protection against dust and debris.
Troubleshooting
Module does not snap into faceplate.
Verify that the faceplate is designed for 25x50mm keystone modules and that no obstructions are present in the slot.
Network cable termination is difficult.
Ensure you are using a keystone jack compatible with this module and that the cable's outer jacket is stripped to the appropriate length for the jack.
Spring-loaded shutter not closing properly.
Check for any debris or obstructions preventing the shutter from closing. Gently clean the shutter mechanism if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Improves cable management by directing cables downwards.
- Enhances airflow by reducing cable obstruction.
- Compatible with multiple cable categories and types (UTP/STP).
- Easy snap-in installation.
- Protects ports with integrated shutters.
Cons
- Requires a compatible modular faceplate for installation.
- Single module per faceplate space may limit port density compared to straight modules if not planned carefully.
- Angled design might restrict space in very confined wall cavities.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, first ensure you have a compatible modular faceplate. Insert the FDL Single Angled Keystone Module into one of the available slots in the faceplate until it clicks securely into place. Then, terminate your network cable (Cat.5e, Cat.6, or Cat.6a) to the keystone jack that fits within this module according to industry standards (e.g., TIA/EIA-568-A or TIA/EIA-568-B).
Compatibility: This module is designed to fit standard modular faceplates that accommodate 25x50mm keystone modules. It is compatible with both UTP and STP keystone jacks and supports network cabling up to Cat.6a specifications.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the exterior of the module and faceplate with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic. Ensure the spring-loaded shutters are clear of debris to maintain their function.
