Customer Reviews for Commercial Electric Category 5e Jack - White

Purchased two of these jacks (blue & orange), and both were duds out of the package with various terminals not making a solid connection. I tested the network cable I was using (it was good) and tried re-seating/re-punching the terminal wires (using a few different wires for troubleshooting). A major flaw in the design appears to be that the punch down terminals do not fully cut through the wire covering and so contact with the actual wires is not made. As a replacement, I purchased some more expensive jacks from another store and they worked perfectly with the first punch down wire attempt. I might have just been unlucky with some bad ones since other people seem to have success using these, but my recommendation is avoid! They are cheap and not reliable.

It doesn't get easier than this. No expensive crimping tool required. Just place the wires in the color coded slots and use the included insertion tool to press them into place for a rock solid reliable connection. Once you are done inserting the wires, you simply snap the jack right into the wall plate. It's literally and figuratively a snap!

These were a snap - literally! All you have to do is push in the wires with the handy included insertion tool and snap the connector into the plate and mount it to the fixture. It's that simple. You do need to pay attention to the orientation - they only snap in one way.

These did not work as the insulation isnt cut into deep enough half the time

Product works well in confined spaces and is easy to wire.

Works great. Easy to install. Will buy more when we run more cables.

Easy & quick to use and works well!

you may wish to buy extras and later return the unused ones. I bought 4 and 2 were bad. Lost a bunch of time troubleshooting and replacing the bad connectors. One of the bad ones had 2 of the 8 spring contacts stick down and there was "open" connection. The other one would not punch thru the insulation on one half of the punchdown wire connections. I have installed hundreds of these keystone jacks and these are the first to fail for me.

inexpensive, readily available

Easy to use, just press wires into the right slot and plug in router. I needed to make my own connectors and these were easy.

The Cat 5 jacks worked well and were color coded for the correct termination. The enclosed directions were great as I had to work in a tight spot. The jackes were simple to terminate and were set the first time (no go back) . They clipped into the housing secure and firm.

It worked the way it was supposed to

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Easy to terminate with the supplied tool, color scheme is easy to follow

Works as expected.

Installs well and as described

Easy to use. Color-coded terminals with Punch-down tool included. Easy install into RJ45 wall plate. I used these to convert existing CAT5 Phone wiring to support my Home LAN.

Worked as expected, wire does not stay seated well at times. But does include limited use tool

Used these in a number of locations. good connections, works fine.

Solid keystone. Takes the impact of a punchdown tool without cracking or breaking.

Sonya at the Preston Highway store and Louisville Kentucky is awesome. after helping me trying to find what I needed we realized that they were out of stock of the white ethernet female jacks. even though they were out of stock she made it happen by finding a package and selling me exactly what I needed which not only saved me time and money but she did it with a smile! you cannot get this level of customer service almost anywhere anymore these days, these young kids and I'm only 38 have no level of good customer service. if you happen to be in this store look for Sonya because she is truly awesome. if management comes across this review I highly suggest giving her kudos 4 likely being the best employee they have

The Cat 5e jack are easy to use. i would recommend the Jack

Easy install

Worked for our needs
