Review on πŸ”Œ Sancable Cat6 Ethernet Wall Plate: 2 Port Keystone Female to Female, White - Reliable Networking Solution by Bob Moonin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Screws are worse!

While this product makes connecting network cables convenient, the cheap screws that come with this wall plate make installation a nightmare. instead of screws. I installed two of these ethernet wallplates in two different low voltage mounting brackets. These mounting brackets are unthreaded. Essentially, you create threads as you go. It requires more torque and the screw heads are flat. A lot of force is required when using hand tools to prevent the heads from being removed. A small slotted screwdriver is usually sufficient. But this setup works best if you have a cordless screwdriver that can provide the required torque. Being able to tighten and loosen the screws before installation can prevent some headaches. I made something similar to the first low voltage mount I also bought. You'll also find that if you have screws from an existing light switch panel, they have a deeper groove and are half the length. The supplied screws were much longer than needed. I replaced the screws on the second wall panel I installed after pushing the originals back with pliers after the heads were damaged. To find out, I have the right tools and I'm doing more than most people I know.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
