## Description

desertcart.com: Cable Matters UL Listed 10Gbps 6-Pack RJ45 Shielded Cat6A / Cat6 Keystone Jack with Integrated Shutter : Electronics

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: High quality and good looks. - I was initially a little skeptical of the toolless punchdown, but it worked really well on 23 AWG solid core CAT6a. I used a C-clamp to cinch mine down tight, but a small bench vice with soft jaws would be most ideal. Channel lock pliers would do it, but will scratch the metal. The plastic guide is designed to accommodate the cable jacket, which encourages you to pull the wires tightly through, and it holds the wires in place before crimping. This helps to minimize the untwisted portion of wire. The finished termination is tidy and strain relieved with no exposed wires on the back side of the keystone. I like that the shielded metal housing completely encloses the connections, and the zip-tie strain relief is a convenient place to attach the foil shield and drain wire. You could use this to make a male to female extension cable for your toolkit, although flexing it too much would eventually make it fail. The plastic gate cover is of debatable usefulness, but for my application (home with 2 dogs that shed a lot) it's definitely a plus, and I think it makes open ports look a lot more presentable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The desciption says these are for solid network cables - will they work with stranded cable?**
A: Your only supposed to use solid core on keystone jacks and stranded with RJ45 plastic crimps.  That's how the cable is designed.  Might work but not suggested for commercial applications.   At home, tinker all you want.

**Q: Will these fit standard wall plates?**
A: Yes. They will fit standard keystone plates

**Q: Will this work with 26AWG cables? This is designed for 23~24AWG cables.**
A: Yes this does work with 26AWG cables. I just tried this about a day ago, due to a friend asking the same question.

**Q: If I wire the jack incorrectly can it be reused for a second try ?**
A: Yes
