Summary: Faceplates Double Gang

Faceplates — Double Gang (Category Cable)

Windy City Wire supports structured cabling projects with a focused line of Double Gang faceplates designed for high-density Category Cable terminations in commercial and industrial environments. Built to work seamlessly with standard keystone jacks, these faceplates help integrators, contractors and distributors deliver clean, consistent work while protecting terminations and enabling clear cable organization at the workstation and telecom room interface.

Our 12-port Double Gang keystone faceplate in black provides a compact, professional finish where more connections are required per location. By standardizing the look and layout of your outlets, you can streamline installation steps, reduce callbacks and support future network planning without disrupting existing users. The result is a more predictable deployment that supports network optimization and long-term network resilience across your facilities.

Designed for professional installers
Windy City Wire works directly with integrators, contractors and distributors. We provide products and solutions for low-voltage infrastructure and do not sell to end users or consumers. Whether you are rolling out a new build, expanding a floor, or refreshing existing drops, our Double Gang faceplates help you keep terminations organized and serviceable, and they align with common networking technologies and keystone formats used throughout structured cabling systems.

How our faceplates add value on your next project

  • High-density terminations: 12 keystone ports in a standard Double Gang footprint allow more connections at the workstation without adding additional boxes, supporting cleaner layouts and efficient network planning.

Our Double Gang faceplate option helps integrators, contractors, and distributors deliver clean, serviceable endpoints that keep Category Cable runs organized, labeled, and ready for future changes. By consolidating multiple connections at the point of use, you can streamline installations, simplify moves/adds/changes, and support network optimization across a wide range of networking technologies.

Product overview

This 12-Port Double Gang Keystone Faceplate (Black) is designed for high-density terminations in a standard two-gang opening. It accepts standard keystone modules—so you can mix data, voice, AV, and control connections in a single location—while maintaining a consistent, professional finish across the facility. Sold individually (priced per each), it is a practical choice for large rollouts that require uniformity and easy serviceability.

  • Flexible keystone layout: Populate with Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A jacks, coax, fiber couplers, or AV keystones to match each space’s needs.
  • High-density, small footprint: Up to twelve terminations in one plate helps reduce wall clutter and consolidates documentation.
  • Service-friendly: Standardized keystones allow quick swaps and upgrades as networking technologies evolve.
  • Consistent look and feel: A clean, uniform appearance supports professional turn‑over on multi‑floor and multi‑site deployments.

Where this faceplate fits in a structured cabling system

  • Work areas and offices: Consolidate user drops for data, VoIP, and peripherals at desks or wall locations.
  • Conference rooms and collaboration spaces: Terminate network, AV over IP, control, and BYOD connectivity at a single point.
  • Classrooms and training rooms: Support instructor stations, displays, and wired network access within one plate for simplified maintenance.
  • Retail and hospitality: Group POS, digital signage, and guest services connections neatly and securely.
  • Industrial and warehousing: Bring scanner docks, workstations, and control interfaces together for efficient servicing.
  • Healthcare and labs: Provide organized endpoints for clinical workstations, telemetry gateways, and AV/teaching equipment.

  • What are the main differences between CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, and CAT7 cables?
    • CAT5e: Up to 1 Gbps at 100 m, 100 MHz bandwidth. Suitable for basic data and VoIP. Good for cost‑effective network planning.
    • CAT6: 1 Gbps at 100 m; up to 10 Gbps to ~55 m, 250 MHz. Tighter twists reduce crosstalk; better for busier segments and network optimization.
    • CAT6A: 10 Gbps at 100 m, 500 MHz. Heavier construction and alien crosstalk mitigation support higher throughput and network resilience in dense bundles and PoE applications.
    • CAT7: Typically 10 Gbps at 100 m with 600–1000 MHz performance under ISO/IEC specs; uses overall and pair shielding. Often deployed where maximum noise immunity is desired; connector standards vary by region.

    Choose the category based on application bandwidth, environment, and growth plans to align with your networking technologies roadmap.

  • What are some popular Category Cable colors and what do they stand for?
    • Blue: General data drops/workstations
    • White: Voice/telephony
    • Red: Critical systems, VLANs, or secure networks
    • Yellow: PoE devices, WAPs, or cameras
    • Green: Management networks or cross-connects
    • Orange: Demarc/ISP handoff or special circuits
    • Black: Security/CCTV or AV backbones
    • Purple: AV/control systems or specialty services
    • Gray: General patching/standard use

    Color conventions vary by organization. Standardizing jacket and stripe colors with SmartWire helps streamline troubleshooting and supports network resilience.
