10-Pack Cat6 Tool-Less RJ45 Keystone Jack, No Punch-Down Tool Required Module Coupler (Not Compatible with Patch Panel), White

I bought a house that had phone jacks, but to my surprise were wired with ethernet cable. The phone system was some type of voice over internet, which I disconnected. I wired the cable at this end with regular ethernet connectors so they could be plugged into my switch. I had rewired a few jacks with regular connectors that plugged into a keystone coupler. I could then plug in devices like a normal wall jack. The problem was that this setup was somewhat cramped in the boxes in the wall. I found these when researching RJ45 keystone jacks.I was skeptical, but decided to give them a try. I wired up my first RJ45 keystone jack, but did it wrong because I didn't pay attention to the diagram on the device for the T568B layout. I just arranged the wires in their normal layout, but that doesn't correspond to how these jacks are wired. I know it was not advisable to do this, but I pulled up the wires and rearranged them according to the diagram on the device. This did not cause any issues and things worked just fine. I guess it pays to follow directions...One direction I did follow was to put in one wire at a time and press down on the crimper for each wire. This way you are not trying to make sure all wires are loose when you go to crimp them.As other reviewers mentioned, there is no cable relief to hold onto the cable sheath. I would be concerned if there was going to be any movement of the wire, but these will be in keystone jacks that will not move.Even though the clasp that closes and pushes the wires down feels secure, I decided to secure it closed with electrical tape just in case. I didn't go as far as to wrap the exposed loose wires as a form of cable relief since this cable is in the wall.If you want a quick and simple way to wire up your keystone jacks, these RJ45 jacks. However, I believe these cannot be used in patch panels. If you need something to work in a patch panel, I saw other brands that said they would work in that setup. This brand said it would not.

These made it easy to wire the cable I have pre-ran in the wall of my house. There were no connectors on the ends of the cable. These made it easy to add a connector. Just make sure the when you splice the cable and after untwisting theittle wires you straighten them.

I needed to terminate only 1 CAT 6 connector for a cable to a wall socket so I did not want to spend money for a tool just to do this one connector. These connectors are great. I was easily able to make a reliable termination with this connector. I used the procedure recommended by another reviewer which is to put one pair of wires into the contacts at a time, clamp down on the wires, open the clamp and continue with the remaining pairs. You don't even need to strip the wires to do this. As per another reviewer, be attentive to following the color coded pins on the connector. I highly recommend these connectors.

I'm a first time user of this type of product. It came with no instructions at all which is why I gave it a four star. I had to watch it's product video several times to figure out how to use it. Once I figured it out it was very easy to use. Would definitely recommend this no punch down tool connector. I punched down two wires at a time.

I used these to relocate my ISP modem, and they worked perfectly.The temptation is to try to put all the pairs in the jack and close the cover to punch them down all at once. Don't do that.Make sure the pairs are all cut to the same length. The wires can be inserted into holes at the top of the jack. Just insert the end of the wire into the hole at the top and bend it back into its slot. Insert the first wire and close the cover on it. Open the cover and insert the second wire, then close the cover on that one. Repeat that until you have all the wires punched down. Depending on the plenum-rated cable you are using, it might be impossible to close the cover to punch down all four pairs at once, but one at a time is no issue. I just used the wall plates I had on hand, which were from two different manufacturers, and these jacks snapped into them with no trouble.These are a little more expensive than the standard jacks that you can buy in bulk, so I might not use them for a big job, but they're perfect for adding one or two drops in a hurry. I'll keep a few in my tool bag.

DO NOT BUY ITBought it thinking easy convenient but in reality7 out of 10 showed as been shorted by Klein ToolsBe carful with standards when making connections with this device(cross-talk), check pictures, check seller responseSeller Response(1. The cable sequence is wrong: Since the sequence of the line sequence B of this product is: orange white/orange, blue white/blue, brown/brown white, green white/green, it is not a universal sequence of line sequence B, so it is easy to make mistakes and cause the product to not work.2. The product fails to crimp all the cables at once: Since it is difficult for us to straighten all the cables at once, it is easy to cause poor contact if all the cables are crimped at once. We can crimp 2 cables first, and then crimp two cables in turn.3. The cable is too thin to work: This product is not compatible with 32awg (flat wire and very thin cable))DO NOT BUY IT

Worked great.

They work but I'll just use regular ones in the future. I don't like that the untwisted wire has to be longer to have enough to connect. Even with 23awg wire I've had them not set properly on the half that require longer wire to connect. I'll just keep using standard ones punch down tools are cheap and I already have 2. Thought it would be more convenient but in reality it was actually slower and more of a hassle.
