Review on Monoprice Cat5E RJ-45 Toolless Keystone Jack, Blue (100313): Easy and Efficient Network Connection Solution by Adam Shuler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

didn't work for me. no option to rebuild

Firstly there are no instructions whether you run the wires on the swing door or on the slats themselves and then close the door to them. Since the color key is on the swing door, I decided to install the wires there. When I was done I closed the door with the wires attached to the blades and made sure it was attached nice and tight with the little black clip that came with it. After using the tester, 3 out of 8 colors did not work. Also, the extra wire was not cut. I was under the impression that the blades would cut off the excess. What's worse, I can't reuse it and try again as I can't open it again without applying a ton of pressure or possibly risking a screwdriver to break it. I may try again since I ordered 2. This time I will try to put the wires on the blades first and then close the latch on them. I think it's easier to just crimp the standard plug and use a female to female adapter instead.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
