12 Pcs Cat6a Cat7 Keystone Jack Cat7 RJ45 STP Tool-Less Type Zinc Alloy Module Jacks Adapter Coupler for 22 to 26 AWG Solid or Stranded S/FTP Ethernet Cable

I was a little skeptical that this would work, without a lot of trial and error, but it worked the first time. I put one on each end of a CAT 7 cable, which I made sure was 26AWG. No instructions were included, but there are a number of YouTubes out there that show you how to do it. I took my time to do it right, and it worked well.

You can feel weight and quality by holding it.Haven’t installed yet but doing see any issues with it.

Really good. I dont have the special tool to push these done but do have other clamping tools that i got to work. The quality is top notch and the fit is nice and tight so no wiggle room in the connection. Perfect.

The ZOERAX 6 Pcs Cat6a Cat7 Keystone Jack Cat7 RJ45 STP Tool-Less Type Zinc Alloy Module Jacks are suitable for shielded (STP) ethernet cable installations. The Zoerax listing states the connector accommodates 22 to 26 AWG Solid or Stranded wire. It came with the connectors individually packaged in resealable baggies along with a small zip tie for the completed ethernet cable connection. Note this was a requested and sent for free product for review. The construction of the connector is similar to other manufacturers of these types of ethernet wiring connectors, specifically the shielded (STP) type. Although manufacturers of this design style claim the connectors are toolless, they are not really if you want to make sure you have a solid connection that is neat and won't "short out" (where badly trimmed wires touch the the metal casing and can make an electrical interference or non-working connection in a POE or shielded ethernet setup)--you should always trim the wires flush with wire cutters to the plastic insert after clamping the plastic pieces together and before closing the metal casing around everything. The good about the this CAT7 connector: it is "backwards" compatible to CAT6A, CAT6, CAT5E, CAT5; the overall connector is not a wide body which makes installing connectors side by side easier; The whole connector is machined/milled nicely with no rough or uncut pieces and edges; the plastic removable insert is labeled with a wire color diagram scheme (T568-A or T568-B labels) that is screen printed on and not a label that can delaminate from the plastic; the connector can be reused/re-wired. The not so good: the wire color diagram scheme (T568-A or T568-B labels) that is screen printed on on the little plastic insert needs to have more distinct color difference between brown and orange because they are very similar to each other (though you really should use a separate sheet with the T568-A or T568-B diagram fore reference and to be consistent with your wiring of the connector). The iffy: the white plastic tab design is probably to minimize the cost of the amount of plastic used but is maybe a weak point if you have to remove the connector from a plate or plan to reuse the connector multiple times and depress the tab too many times. The connectors are not too much bigger/longer than other (CAT6) connectors I had (see photo 5 with CAT6 connectors on the right and those connectors are different from each other even though they are from the same popular MP company with the same part numbers purchased together at the same time). Overall, I rate it 4.5 star as these are decent connectors for shielded ethernet installation.

Easy to make patch cables. Cast aluminum housing so it does transfer shielding very well. A couple of minutes spent on each cable end made.

Really bad quality. Breaks too quick!Will be returning!

These keystones are built like tanks. Easy to install and incredibly heavy-duty. Their quality exceeds their price and I’m really happy with them. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a more robust jack than the usual fare.

Most places, I was dealing with Cat6a, but never worked on connecting keystones. I was interested in working with it on my own time, but never had the cable or tools. Now I have just about everything to learn how to use these keystones with the cable. There's a good amount of connectors for the price, and the detailed instructions is wonderful!

These are high quality ethernet jack connectors. The metal case and shielding will certify it to CAT7, although most people will only use CAT6 or 6A. The toolless design is very convenient for those people who don't have dedicated tools to crimp and terminate properly. They are fairly straight forward to use, but watch a video if you have never done it before. For the convenience, these are not a bad value at all. Recommended.

This pack of 6 keystones is great. I still used a manual punch down tool to make sure the wires are lined up properly, but technically is considered toolless install.Ideally I would have liked the push plate to be 'U' shaped instead of having a hole in the middle. As it is right now, it you forget to thread the wire through the push plate, you'll have to start over. A mistake I may have done.Installation is otherwise really easy, and I do lile that the back closes onto the wire which makes manipulating the keystone less succeptible to be pulling or disconnecting the wires.The aluminium looking body looks great and really make them stand out in a patch panel.I recommend them :)

These are slightly harder to open somehow than other models of tool-less jacks but the insert that you put the individual wires from the twisted pairs into is easier to get everything arranged in prior to "crimping". Really all there is to it is you put the individual wires into the slots much like you'd do when using punch down terminals but there is no punching down here... you just put the insert (with the wires inserted) into the metal body of the jack and then close it, clamping down on the wires and making the final connections and securing the jacket (if you cut it the right length anyway). Overall it works well, though I have nothing that can test the CAT7 operation claim.One thing I don't prefer about these is that the jacks are enormous, especially compared to traditional crimped jacks making it not exactly a good choice if you have to make multiple connections in close proximity to each other but will work fine for most individual connections.

These adapters have some weight to them compared to similar plastic-only adapters I've used in the past. They feel solid and able to be banged around a bit without feeling like they'll break. They use a tool-less design which makes then handy to use when adding new wiring or repairing existing wires. The description mentions how the metal construction helps shield from interference. I thought the twists in the Cat5/6/7 cables already blocked interference, but it is good to know that the metallic construction should contribute to a problem-free experience.

These tool-less type zinc alloy modules provide reliable connectivity for your Cat7 RJ45 STP cables. Say goodbye to complicated installations and hello to efficient networking with these convenient keystone jacks.
