Product Purpose

This Klein Tools C265 Speed Termination Tool is built for electricians and low-voltage installers who terminate VCE 90-degree keystone jacks. It punches down and cuts eight wires in one motion so patch panels and wall plates can be finished quickly.

Who It Suits

Technicians working with VCE C265 series CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6A keystones will benefit from the single-action design and replaceable SK5 steel blade. Installers using other keystone brands or traditional punch-down blocks should choose a different punch-down tool.

Deciding Specification

The tool works only with VCE C265 90-degree keystone jacks, which are UL-listed and slimmer than standard jacks to fit side by side in multi-port wall plates and patch panels.

Questions about this item

Does the C265 punch-down tool work with standard keystone jacks or only VCE 90-degree models?

The tool is designed exclusively for VCE C265 series 90-degree keystone jacks including Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A types. It will not terminate standard keystone jacks.

What mounting space does the C265 keystone jack need in a wall plate or patch panel?

The 90-degree C265 jack has a slimmer profile that allows side-by-side installation in multi-port Decora wall plates and standard patch panels.

How do you replace the SK5 steel blade head when it wears out?

Remove the worn blade head and fit the replacement blade head; the tool body is reused so you do not need a new punch-down tool.
