It sure has come a long way from the first patent in 1979 as a "wiring module for telephone jack". Amp Incorporated led the way until 16 years later the patent that we know today as that telephone connector with contact protect block that revolutionized telecommunications and continues to inspire thought on the transferring of data in and around facilities all over the world.
Keystone wall plates are built to connect keystone jacks for various cables into a single or double gang outlet box, which would be installed directly into a building's drywall. Surface mount wall boxes allow you to mount keystone jacks on the surface of the wall.
Keystone ports are the small square holes in the wall plates and surface mount boxes that are made so that keystone jacks can snap right in.
Keystone jacks are female connectors that snap into the wall plate or surface mount box, allowing cables to be connected in various configurations. There can be up to twelve keystone ports in a wall plate. Keystone wall plates will work with all kinds of different keystone jacks, including HDMI, VGA, DVI, RCA, IR, speaker cables and F-connectors, just to name a few.
