White 1-Gang Data Jack Wall Plate (1-Pack)

Wow. All I can say about this is wow. The last time I wired any cat5 was about 10 years ago and I had to use my special crimper to attach the ends. Lining up the twisted pairs in the small plastic ends was not the easiest for my fumbling fingers either. Whole other story with this kit, just use the supplied wiring diagram to lay the twisted pairs in the connector body as described, then use the supplied tool to punch down each twisted pair . Attach the dust cover and that it! The oversized wall plate comes in handy too to hide my less than perfect job of cutting the hole in the drywall for the junction box. I highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to add or replace ant cat5 terminals. To make this even easier, only punch down or terminate one set of wires at a time so you aren’t dealing with more than two wires at a time. And yes, I realize the picture I took shows the wall plate upside down but I did install the twisted pairs in the correct places... :)

Super easy to install and a clean way to get Ethernet to each room in my home. The wall plate comes with the Ethernet jack, a punch-down tool, a pair of screws, and a clear-plastic dust cover that goes over the punch-down wiring after you have wired it all up. This was easier to install than I thought- our company’s IT guy makes it sound like a big deal, and says you need a special punch-down tool. The little plastic tool tha Leviton provided was more than adequate! A few notes to heed: 1) wire both ends of your cable run to the same color-convention standard. Usually it’s “A” or “B” - and Leviton has provided both color codes on the jack. I used ‘A’ at both ends of the cable haul. 2) The cable can sit in the middle of the trough and wire ends point out, or the wires can start from the outside and all point into the center - but do trim the wire ends to eliminate the possibility of shorting. 3) Keep the wire pairs together and install them according to the color convention, keeping pairs twisted until 1/2” before the punch-down. This helps keep the signal clean. My project was to replace a cable I had wired through the house with this jack so that I had a cleaner, professional look and so I can replace connector cables to the data plate as I moved my equipment to a new spot in the room.

Great product works as advertised

This is 1 piece so you can't repair it if it breaks

I bought this for curbside pickup, and wasn't able to inspect the package before sanitizing it in the car. Once him I found the package was obviously previously torn open and everything except the wall plate was missing. Totally useless.

I bought this online for curbside pickup, so was not able to inspect the package before getting home. They gave me a previously opened bag, screws, dust cover, and punch-down tool were missing. Not worth the drive back to store!!!

The wall plate works well. Just have to check your installation to be sure your wiring is correct. The instructions are set up for data only.

Definitely a DIY easy install, as long as you are comfortable working on teeny tiny wires. this one gives me access to my home network so now I can send updated drawings to the printer in the other room while working, and I can now use a laptop in the garage to access the internet, a definite aid when working on vehicles. If I ever buy a built to order home there will be at a bare minimum one cat5 outlet in every wall of every room.

The cat5 plate worked great to use on a network cable I accidentally ripped the plug off of trying to get it thru a hole in the wall to go in my bedroom. I was able to take the exposed wires and push them right into the back of this face plate with the help of the included tool and then screwed the plate right to the wall. It now looks like my bedroom was wired with cat5 and I can plug my network cable into the outlet on the wall! These face plates really give your network cabling a finished look rather then just sticking wires thru walls and here and there. I’m in the process of insulating my garage and I plan to add a couple of these cat5 face plates in there so we can have network hookups out there for security camera, computer, and printer. I feel the wired networks work much better then wireless and with these faceplates you can make everything look clean and professional!
