I am a data cabling technician and therefore have a lot of experience with network connectors. I have used literally thousands of bushings from all brands (Panduit, Leviton, Hubbell, Siemens...). To reduce labor costs, I tried these connectors from Cable Matters. At $1 a cart I decided to give it a try. Most other bushings I've used are $5-7 each. I've used about 200 Cable Matters connectors and haven't had a single problem with them. The manual hammer assist that comes with the jacks is really well designed. They're a little tight when inserted into the modular patch panel, but they work. For private use this is not a problem. And for small commercial jobs they are actually better than expected. Full recommendation!
