Cable Matters [UL Listed] 25-Pack 10Gbps Cat6 Keystone Jacks, RJ45 Keystone Jack, Ethernet Keystone Jack in White with Keystone Punch-Down Stand for Patch Panel and Wall Plate

So I got these needing some ports quickly for Cat6 not 6a as these are not for 6a, and honestly for the price they are great. I can get great signal, and they work very well. For a simple item they are good to go, anyone talking about weak plastics is probably not too great or familiar with punch down tools. The pictures I saw was a bit off putting, as the wires were just kind of crammed in there.Using a proper punchdown tool I had no issues, I even took a single port and punched down over 30 wires to map and label the wires. Using just 2 pair Green and white green I punched down, had my remotes plugged in at the wall and sat in the server room and just punched and re-punched, by the end of about 32 wires I did notice the weakened state of the port, but honestly they should be a single use, punch down and then done.However for fun I punched the same one down all the way and tested, received full signal and 1Gbps throughput on the port.Lesson is simple, make sure you know what you are doing before writing a review about a product that simply, is a basic item that is considered disposables to most of us in the industry. Also make sure to use a dedicated and good quality punch down tool with the razor end option to snip the remaining wires off of the sides. Unlike 66 or 110 blocks use a low strength setting on the punch down tool and being that the product itself and type of item it is, the insulated jacket is all the metal teeth are trying to get through, so having them bite into the copper itself is actually a bad thing, so having them a bit less on bite is much better as you want connectivity not signal loss, which would happen if the item bit into the actual copper wire.Also note that they are for Cat6 NOT 6a so when working make sure you use the right tool for the job, otherwise reviews of poor quality pop up.Overall I have used probably over a 100 of these now in industrial settings and have zero issue and they have replaced several Leviton versions that were badly installed by a not so skilled worker.

It's hard to mess this up. You do need a push down tool but I had one already. The jacks are durable and the color codes on the side (while you do have to make a decision about T568A vs T568B wiring layout) make it easy to keep track of what you are doing and confirm mistake-free termination work. I did 5 of these tonight and the 4 I could test worked perfectly on the first try. Cable Matters was my choice because I know the quality of their USB and video cables so I assumed their ethernet jacks would be good too and yeah, they are.

Had all kinds of issues recently with Cat 6E and crimping connectors. I don't know what I was doing wrong. But, wasn't going well..I switched to punch down and pretty confident I am not going back. This was clean and fairly easy once I got over the learning curve.Only issues I still have:1. If the cable is too short coming out of the wall, I am punching down on the wall itself or need a sturdy box of some kind. Somewhat painful.2. I think my ends are too long coming out. I wish I had some kind of protector to ensure they don't get cut/kinked...Likely some I will need to look for.

I bought these to replace some keystone couplers that came with my patch panel. I am very happy with the quality and durability. They are individually wrapped so each package had the keystone jack and two caps that go over the termination points.I will definitely buy these again when I run low.

So far so good on the actual jacks... However, double check the wiring guide stickers! I have four boxes of these... Two are correct, two are wrong! Took me far too long to realize why my new cable run was testing as a crossover!UPDATE!I emailed their support to let them know about the issue. They responded almost immediately! Extremely helpful and friendly. They say they found where in the factory the issue was, have corrected it, and are sending me new jacks.What can I say? I'm a fan!

I used these for a small business networking setup. They are easy to add to the ends of CAT6 cable. I used a punch tool to push the wires into place. The diagram on the side of each jack is really nice to have readily available when punching down the cables. These fit snuggly into both the network rack and the plate covers I used. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve used these in Cable Matters patch panels as well as Leviton and Commercial Electric wall plates. They fit well and aren’t difficult to remove, if needed. I especially like the little molded block that is used to help brace the connectors when punching them down. It beats trying to brace them against a wall (or table, or cabinet, or leg).

Used two sets of these and only had a single issue which was probably my mistake. They all fit into all receptacles as expected as well. The base made punching down the wire super easy even when you were working in weird angles or tight places.The instructions did show a zip tie provision for relief, but these did not have them. Not sure if the wrong paper was put in the box.
