Review on πŸ”Œ Cmple - Single Port Keystone Jack Surface Mount Box for Network, RJ45 Single Hole Keystone Jack Surface Mount Box by Shane Schobinger

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good product but terrible quality control

I have purchased five dual port boxes that are rated Category 6. All plastic but strong, I used a 110 punch tool and it worked fine. The first of the five had a broken connection on one of the signal lines between the RJ45 and the stamping block, which turned out to be a tiny break in the copper trace on its internal circuit board. A short jump over the breaking point put everything back in order. I also noticed where the stamping blocks are soldered to the board, half the pads, 4 out of 8 per block were never soldered! I opened the other four boxes and found another unsoldered contact pads in one. Also, many of the solder pads were only partially filled with solder. Partially filled pods work well and can last a very long time, but this indicates poor quality control. After fixing the problems, the boxes work fine. I particularly like the double adhesive pad that comes with every box. Unsoldered pads will almost certainly cause future failures, so consider purchasing another product.

Pros
  • GOOD CONSTRUCTION - Made from durable ABS that locks into place for a snug, secure fit. It's easy to change cable type or upgrade by connecting a new keystone.
Cons
  • No Power
