Short answer, yes. Long answer, yes, but you will not get Cat 6 Speeds (Obviously) and you might have some issues if the keystone is expecting a heavier Gauge Wire. ... The mating form factor is also the same: CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 plugs will insert and connect to CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 jacks just fine.
