VCEVCE Keystone module CAT 8 Jack Shielded RJ45 socket Tool-free Fully shielded STP Compatible with CAT7A CAT7 CAT6A installation cable 40 GBit/s 2000 MHz 2 pieces

I found these sockets easier to connect up reliably than others I've used in the past (although it might not sound it from the following description!) They are not perfect however. The instructions tell you to push the wires into place and then trim them before punching down the piece that makes the electrical contact, but when I did that the ends pulled back in their grooves and so did not make proper contact with the V-blade terminals.What worked best for me was to lay out the wires with a little excess folded down outside the block to prevent the wires moving. I then punched down by squeezing the parts together between thumb and fingers until driven fully home. This took a fair bit of strength. Finally I used a sharp knife to trim off the excess as close to the edge of the closed block as possible. If a spare end is too long then there is a danger of the inner conductor shorting against the metal casing. (I also tried leaving the ends folded down but that didn't leave enough room to close over the casing.) If I owned a pair of very fine wire cutters then that would have been better than using a knife, but the wire cutters I have did not cut close enough.I mentioned that it took a fair bit of strength to punch down the connector block. On most sockets like this the act of closing the case does the punch down, but I found that with these the case closed without punching the block fully home.The biggest advantage of these connectors though is that if you fail to get a good contact the first time you can open it up again, remove the wires, cut off a new end, and have another go, which is not the case with other brands that I've tried.

While it's not entirely tool free (you'll need a wire stripper / cutter at the very least) it's super easy to install.Note: It's best to just follow the video that is linked on the product description page.

Worked perfectly, easy to use. Much easier than punching down your own cat6a cables.

No matter how many times i tried and re-tried the cables would not cut when clamping down so it never connected. Tried both and multiple times on a cat 8 cable. I am very good with kind of thing so very disappointed. Maybe the Cat 8 cable i purchased has smaller wire thickness thus the cutters don't penetrate the outer wire plastic skin... who knows, but they didn't work at all for me. Waisted £12

Great little tool less sockets. Great connection speeds. Easy to put together. Solid connection

Its a cat 8 pass through

I bought these for ease of use. Specifically, I am attaching them to the ends of armoured cat 7 cable to go to my garden studio. Cutting back the armoured cable was easy, but following the paper instructions that come with the jack modules to cut back the twisted pairs, is very misleading. If you buy these, watch the video and ignore the instructions that come in the pack. When fitting the twisted pairs to the jack (when the cable is fully cut back to reveal only the twisted pairs), it is extremely fiddly to work with the internal wire cap. The other problem is the amount of room behind the jack. You will need a very deep wall patress to fit these jacks into. Despite them looking like they are a good idea, I would not buy them again and would not recommend them.

The push down tools does not keep the wires together, they fall out before you even have a chance to clamb them.
