Diamond Optics – Shielded Keystone Jack RJ45 – Network Ethernet Adapter

Description

The Diamond Optics Shielded Cat6a/Cat7 Keystone Jack is a critical component for building a low-noise, high-performance network infrastructure in modern hi-fi systems. Designed for seamless integration into wall plates, patch panels, and custom installations, it ensures that signal integrity is preserved right to the termination point—where it matters most.

In streaming audio systems, network terminations are often overlooked, yet they play a key role in maintaining signal consistency, grounding integrity, and noise rejection. This keystone jack features a one-piece zinc alloy shielded housing, engineered to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and crosstalk (NEXT/AXT). The result is a cleaner data path, helping reduce unwanted noise that can influence sensitive audio components such as streamers, DACs, and network switches.

The tool-less 180° termination design allows for precise and secure connections without introducing variability from inconsistent terminations. Supporting both T568A and T568B wiring standards, and compatible with 22–26 AWG shielded cable, it offers flexibility while maintaining consistent electrical performance.

Designed to support Cat6a and Cat7 standards, this jack enables high-bandwidth transmission while ensuring system stability—an essential requirement for high-resolution streaming and real-time audio data.

Whether used in a dedicated listening room, equipment rack, or whole-home audio network, this keystone jack ensures your infrastructure remains quiet, stable, and future-ready.
