4. Setup and Installation
The Goobay 79366 Keystone Empty Housing is designed for straightforward installation of Keystone modules and mounting to a surface.
4.1 Installing Keystone Modules
- Select the desired Keystone modules (e.g., RJ45, HDMI, USB) for your application.
- Align each Keystone module with an opening in the housing. The modules are designed to snap into place.
- Gently push the module into the opening until it clicks securely. No special tools are required for this step.
- The Keystone holders allow connectors to be rotated up to 180° using the snap-in system. This feature is particularly useful for routing cables without excessive bending, especially with flat housings.
- To remove a module, gently press the release tab (usually located on the top or bottom of the module) and pull the module out.

Once the Keystone modules are installed, the housing can be mounted to a wall or surface. A screwdriver is typically sufficient for this process.
- Position the housing at the desired mounting location.
- Mark the screw holes on the surface.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, depending on the surface material.
- Secure the housing using appropriate screws (not included). Ensure it is firmly attached.

5. Operating Instructions
After successful installation of the Keystone modules and mounting of the housing, the unit functions as a wall plate for the integrated connectors. Simply connect your devices (e.g., network cables, HDMI cables, USB devices) to the respective modules as you would with any standard wall outlet.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check the housing and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fittings.
7. Troubleshooting
- Module not fitting: Ensure you are using standard Keystone modules. Some non-standard modules may not fit correctly. Do not force modules into the openings.
- Difficulty removing a module: Ensure you are pressing the release tab firmly while pulling the module out. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the housing or module.
- Cable bending issues: Utilize the 180° rotation feature of the Keystone holders to adjust the angle of the connector and facilitate proper cable routing.
- No signal/connection: This is typically related to the installed Keystone module or the connected cables/devices, not the empty housing itself. Refer to the instructions for your specific Keystone module and connected equipment.
