Waste of money, poor quality

This Keystone Jack WAS a terrible investment. Its poor quality led to issues with my internet connection causing me to constantly troubleshoot and waste valuable time. The only positive was that it was easy to install, but that hardly makes up for its overall poor performance .Computers are supposed to make our lives easier, but this Keystone Jack just made things more complicated. Do not recommend..

Pros
  • Easy to install without needing special tools.
Cons
  • Requires some force to snap the wires into place, which may pose a challenge for those with weaker hand strength.

A bit strange but it works

They come with a small zipper to keep the device closed, but it appears to be part of the design plan. They don't come with a punch tool, although careful use of the back of a thin knife or flathead screwdriver works well. I use the back of a razor blade but that can be dangerous for you hobbyists as you have to put a decent amount of pressure on the sharp side of the razor blade but it doesn't hit the connectors at all.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Doubtful
