Cable Matters [UL Listed] 10-Pack 10Gbps Cat6 Keystone Jacks, RJ45 Keystone Jack, Ethernet Keystone Jack in White for Patch Panel and Wall Plate

My first Cat-6 inserts for home/personal use. We've moved into a 70's old home with old cat-3 phone wire and coax cable which I've ripped most of it out. Was given a very long piece of Cat-6 and thought might as well use it.Had recently helped a neighbor install some Cat-5e cabling and since I am experienced, I showed him how to punch down the inserts. What a disaster. On the two I punched down the inserts appeared wrecked by the tool. I waved off in embarrassment (and I should be!).So when I decided to install 6 and terminate with jacks I was nervous about my technique (I was trained by vendors for their infrastructure installs). I chose these inserts based upon a quick web search for Cat-6 Keystone type. Cable Matters popped up, so I took the plunge. Decent price and reviews were good.I've installed the cable as needed and found it was easier to go ahead an get their tool to hold the insert while punching it down.The punch down tool used is an Ideal 110 punch tool.I did have a single failed connector put on without the holder.I determined the neighbors' inserts were probably inferior because i did multiple inserts with only 1 that required replacing. Not bad for someone who hasn' done that work in ten years since retirement.These inserts are very good.

Worked with the Leviton faceplates I got off Amazon. Wish i would have bought more to have extras. Make sure you put them in the faceplate in the right direction or they will be hard to get out without breaking the faceplate.

Big fan of keystone wall plates and keystones for clean installs in your home. I'm redoing the house we just bought, running ethernet wires to each room as we're a bunch of pc gamers (4 in the house) and so I install these keystones right at the back of each computer station to make hookups a breeze and keep cords hidden. Can't go wrong. Just make sure to buy the wall plate too, as this is the insert that goes into those wall plates specifically for ethernet cables.

This was my first time terminating cat6 cables into a keystone - it was easy to do with these keystones! I bought the keystone stand (which was very helpful), and you will need a punch down tool. After following the directions I was able to successfully add the keystone and had it working after the first try! These are quality pieces!

Wiring was easy, standard insulation displacement so you need the right tool to push the wire into the groove. Worked at the specified data speed, no hassles!

I have used all 10 of these and have not had a single problem with any of them. I rewired my whole house with coax to each of my bedrooms and living room because I was sick and tired of looking at the mess that my cable company had left me with, when they wired my home. Since I was already getting my hands dirty, I decided to add cat6 cables to all the locations as well, and use a 1Gbit switch for the rooms as well. I purchased this 10-pack because I actually ended up using all 10 and not a single one had any problems.The trick to these is to make sure that you are wiring to the same configuration for all cables that you use. There's a T-568A and T-568B configuration (which you can google) and for my setup, I used the B configuration for the heads and for the connections to these. Make sure that you have the right tools if you plan to do this yourself. If you have a small wire stripper, it should have a small metal head that you can use to press down the ethernet cable's wires into their positions. You don't have to strip the small wires before pushing them into their sockets. All you have to do is press them into their correct position, and don't worry if the wires stick out the sides - it's actually easier that way. After they are in place, use a wire cutter to cut off the extra wires sticking out the sides and place the cover on. That's all.I used LEVITON 41642-W 2-Port QuickPort Decora Platform, White inserts that have cutouts in them for different keystones and these fit nice and snug. The colors also match. You just have to make sure to put them in in the correct orientation. There is a top and bottom to these and even if one way fits, it may cause problems for the piece next to it if it is put in the wrong way. Once it's in correctly, it works as expected. I haven't had any problems with any of them unclipping, or falling into the wall so 5 stars for a product that well deserves it.

Bought a ten pack because it was literally exactly the quantity I needed. All ten got used and all ten work perfectly. Sturdy construction, speeds are as expected for Cat6, and I didn't have any issues terminating using my cheap punch down toolIf I needed more, I would absolutely get another set!

These items worked very well. It as easy to install and makes my plug look polished. No more wires hanging out of the box in the wall.
