## Description

Cable Matters6-Pack, Cat 6a Metal Shielded RJ45 Keystone Jack

Review: Value jack! - Here is the break down of the jack: Design (5/5): This is the design where you lay the wires across the jack portion and not the plastic cap portion, which means that you can punch down these wires instead of pushing the cap down to finalize the wire connections. The cheap Chinese connectors will have a design where you are forced to wire the cap instead of the jack and then force it down to finalize the connection, which results in bad connections many of the times. This jack also comes with the peaks required to split the wires, making it easy to use the peaks to split the wires (the correct way) instead of having to unwind them prior (incorrect way). However, in order to accommodate larger sized wires, they have opted for a zip tie to bring the metal shield up to become flush with the wire at the end. I find this to be both a good and bad thing, but I am glad that they added support for larger cable sizes. Quality (4/5): Metal could possibly be thicker, and some of the mechanisms used in the jack could be done to be more sturdy. However, this is still a vast improvement from the alternative cheap Chinese jack which has MAJOR issues, and the stamped jack which features thin metal which can be bent with a little force from the fingers. This jack is also machined well, and fits RJ45 jacks with no issues, unlike the Chinese jack, which must be forced. Value (5/5): Comparable jacks are big branded, such as Belkin, however, those are $10-11 a piece. These are vastly cheaper. The review which states this cannot be used with a 110 punch is incorrect. That was for an older version of the jack, and Cable Matters has updated the design to allow for punch down tools. I highly recommend using the Trendnet 110 Punch as a cheap punch tool, as it will give you much more solid connections. It's a very good value buy as well. This jack is the best all-around buy hands down. There are several other competitors out there, but they are either too expensive or poorly built.
Review: Fits dual-rated CMR-CMX CAT6 - Good quality, fits dual rated cmx-cmr cat6 cables. Reasonable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits dual-rated CMR-CMX CAT6
*by W***L on 23 August 2026*

Good quality, fits dual rated cmx-cmr cat6 cables. Reasonable price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what you need
*by H***Y on 8 March 2026*

Works perfect, able to get well over 2.5GB speeds and confirmed that the run is grounded properly using these. They are heavy and feel & feel premium, make sure you have some flush scissors. Because the way that these work you need to cut the excess wire flush to let the hinges go down to lock the keystone tightly. This even comes with zip ties to help secure it down which I recommend waiting to do once you confirm you terminated it correctly. These also do have very easy to read legends to figure out if you need to wire in A or B which I used rather than having to reference back to the legend on my crimps. Overall, highly recommend these, they are a little pricey, but I would much rather pay this price for the quality than save a couple dollars and the quality takes a dive.
