Many moons ago I would typically find the cheap route and buy generic CAT6 keystones to save money and was manually punching all of the wires down one at a time. Recently took on a large expansion project at work and thought it would be the time to invest in a keystone crimper/jack set to make the job easier. It was well worth the investment and wasn't expensive at all to do so. We weren't looking to spend Leviton/Hubbell/Panduit kinds of money, but still wanted the one size fit all for a keystone/crimp tool combo. These jacks are identical to those sold by Everest Media Solutions as well as the crimping/punch down tool that is listed under that brand as well. These seem pretty well made and have not run into any bad punches so far that were not my fault/human error. They offer the full rainbow of colors should you decide to color code your patch panels for identification although we stuck with black for patch panels and white for office wall plates to keep things simple. All of the punches are clean and connections reliable. The only thing that would be nicer and this really applies to all brands, is if the jacks were pre-assembled with the dust cover and just thrown in a bulk bag as opposed to individually bagged. Would save a little time and less plastic wasted.

I really like the idea of the keystone jack instead of having to punch on a whole panel. It makes it possible to create all the cables on a work-desk and just plug them in at the panel (assuming you're not pulling the cables out of the wall of course). You're very much in control of the work-area where you do the cable punching - a big plus. Once you get the hang of it, plugging the keystones into the patch panel is easy too (too me a while to figure out the best/fastest way to do that). For beginners like me, a quick drawing showing how you secured the wire would have been nice too - but google was my friend there. The only problem I had was the cable labels. The TIA568B colors doesn't match on the green/brown side. I had to reverse green/brown for them to match with the RJ45 plugs. For cable professional I'm sure this doesn't matter since they can do the sequence of cables in their sleep. After a few initial failed trials, I got the right sequence down and the label didn't matter. I mention this to advice others. Note, while I am color-blind I had non-color blind family members confirm that the colors were indeed wrong on the label. My advice, try one first, test and note what goes where when you're successful. Then rinse and repeat. I would suggest that future labels have a color NAME written too - I get that printers can pick bad color hues, but a small text with the intended color would remove all confusion. All in all - I would not hesitate to purchase this again.

Great product. The color coding makes it easy (generally, in the US, you will be using the "B" color scale). All you need is a punch down tool, preferably one with a blade to cut off the excess wire during the punch.
