Residential Networking Jacks

Most PSU residence halls provide networking jacks for students who require a hardwired network connection.

The red or orange jack is the data network jack. The ivory jack (phone jack) and coaxial connection are unused. Please note that jacks may vary.

Find your residence hall below for instructions on locating your room's jacks.
