Review on IMBAPrice Cat5E Cat6 Keystone Plate by Jake Hill

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Typical Wall Plate; Phillips Screws

This is quite typical for keystone jacks. It's in no way better or worse than almost every other record I've used, and I've used quite a bit. One unusual thing I noticed is that the screws that come with it are Phillips rather than straight. This makes them a little easier to use as my screwdriver always slips off straight screws, but now I understand why a straight edge is standard on wallplate: Phillips have deeper holes and the cross pattern catches a lot more shadow. . Although it saves a few seconds of installation, the end result doesn't look that great. It's an incredible nitpick, of course, but it's the only thing that sets this brand apart from many others. However, I would probably make a purchasing decision based on price rather than screws.

Pros
  • Rugged Finish
Cons
  • Zero
