Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters 50 Pack Keystone Punch Down Kit by Adrian Allen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wide jack causes some problems in certain installation situations

These things work as they should and individually they are a fantastic product. They are cheap considering they come in a pack of 50. But there is a rather serious problem that can arise under certain circumstances. These blocks are physically WIDE. Wider than any other keystone jack I've used (Monoprice, Leviton, another brand I can't identify). everything looks solid. In this scenario you're good to go, don't worry, 5 stars all day. Moving on to some serious networking needs and wall panels with 6 trapezoidal or 12 block double blocks and try to put them side by side. Sides, especially with Monoprice wall panels, and the combination becomes a nightmare. These bushings are wider than anything I've ever used before. It's only a fraction of a millimeter wider, but there's no way to snap one of them next to the other into some brands' keystone plates. I had a couple of old Leviton records that luckily worked because the keystone holes were JUST far enough apart, but they ran out before my wiring project was complete. Be careful buyers, they are great but not for specific wall panels in specific situations.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibrations
Cons
  • No power
