Questions & Answers
I ordered the 100 pack because my last order came with two bags with 50 connectors each.
It does not, in fact.
As long as the brown pair is properly connected, the distance between them is minimal.
It'll work with stranded as well. Solid, however, is preferable.

These were ideal for setting up my home network; I used them on a patch panel as well as in wallplates. All of the connections are excellent. This product is a tight fit in the wallplates, making it difficult to remove if you goober up the wiring (as I did once), and it's also a little loose in the patch panel. I'm not sure which of the three is out of specification, but at the very least, everything stays in place once it's installed - Is there anything else you could want? br>br>I'm only docking a star because I'm not sure how I feel about the angled punch-line. terminals are descending After using both types (flat and angled), I believe the angled ones help with installation, but the bundled cable exiting the back of the keystone feels looser and less secure. Even with the terminal cover in place, this is the case. When installing, more unsheathed twisted pairs are exposed in order to punch-through. down the terminals that are closest to you br>br>Also, if you're using a punch-card system, keep in mind that (The bigger question is why aren't you using one with a built-in cutter? ), the angled terminals clash with the cutter's blade, which is perpendicular to the wire, necessitating a great deal of force to punch the wire properly. and-cut the wire, because you'll be cutting the keystone's plastic as well as cutting it. Because your hands simply won't cut it (pun intended), it's best to have a good, solid surface nearby to use for terminations.
On this jack, the connectors are angled diagonally. The good news is that you can install them using the provided plastic caps, which also serve as push-button controls. downs. The bad news is that you won't be able to use your punchdown tool here, so you'll have to trim the wire ends separately with a flat-bladed knife. Wire cutter at the bottom br>br>In addition, the fit into the keystone plate leaves a noticeable gap on top (or bottom, depending on which way you swing). ) Although almost all keystone jacks will have some of this, these appear to be worse than average. br>br>Aside from that, they install quickly and easily, even without the use of tools, and they work well with my gigabit wired Ethernet.
I made use of a non-alcoholic beverage. I used an impact punchdown tool with these and had no issues. Because of the angled wire terminations, these were easier and faster to install than a traditional right-angle termination. jack at an angle I worked a part-time job at the time. I've had some jacks that pop back into the keystone plate when you plug in a cable, despite being extremely difficult to insert into the plate during installation. This was the polar opposite- They snapped in easily with Leviton plates, and they're very sturdy when connecting and disconnecting cables, which I did several times while testing and connecting to my gear.
I purchased these after having issues with the GE-branded units I purchased from our local big box store (those would simply not puncture the wires upon punch down, no matter how hard or how many times I tried). br>br>These were extremely dependable. They worked perfectly on the first try, on the first punch down. I'm aware of this because I double-checked each connection prior to installation. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. br>br>Highly recommend.
So many of these have been set up by me. However, these are very nice, and punching in the wires was a breeze. Most kits come with a small plastic spade, which I use. So far, there's nothing noteworthy. br>br>I've br>br>I've br>br>I've br>b always. Previously, there were issues with the plastic between the connectors flexing and the wire not punching down properly. br>br>I had no issues with these at all.
The markings on these are excellent. br>br>The only thing that bothered me was that the slots were slanted, but the punch tool fit perfectly. That struck me as odd, and I'd never worked with anyone like that before. I've had some awful jacks in the past, but these are actually quite good. I used them to wire my house, and they functioned as expected. br>br>I would buy them again in a heartbeat.
Great price, but in my experience, the internal strength of these connectors can be compromised by the impact of a punch. tool for descending When tested, they appear to be in good working order but have open or intermittent connections. This damage could be reduced by using an installation fixture to hold the connector firmly in place during the punch-out process. I didn't write it down. br>In general, I would advise against using these connectors.
Punching down the wires was not an issue, but the jacks had a lot of connectivity issues. I wasted a lot of wire trying to get these things to work, so I just bought pass-throughs. through connectors, attaching a plug to the wire's end, and plugging in a pass-through due to the fact that these didn't work.
