Every Cat5 or Cat6 keystone jack I have EVER used say either cat5 or cat6 on them, not RJ45. The phone (rj11) ones I use either say Cat3 or nothing on them. A Cat5 keystone jack is a Cat5 keystone jack. Can you use cat5 cable with a cat3 keystone jack? Yeah, but in that case I would have said Cat3 jack.
Isnt that telling you what to plug into the front of the jack. Keystone just means the form factor. Not to mention that cat5 (actually cat5e) isn't limited to 4 pairs, 25 pair and been 100 pair is common. So if I have a cat5 jack but have a 25 pair cable how does your "cat5 jack" work?
I think the cat 5 connector is actually called an 8P8C connector and ao the jack would be a jack for that type of connector. Hell I'm sure wiki has a bunch on it.

[Link: en.wikipedia.org]Again, I was just giving g you a hard time. However, we often complain that we don't have standards in our industry, well we could at least stick to the proper names for the things that have proper names.
