LINKOMM 10-Pack RJ45 Cat6 Slim Profile UTP Unshielded Keystone Jack (Blue)

These are exactly the same as the Cable Matters slim profile keystone. They work in the Cable Matters crimp tool and are the same quality at a lower price. Yellow jack is Linkomm and blue is Cable Matters slim profile.Edit - I was curious and a bit concerned about the other review that claims that these jacks don't pass testing.So with a little help from my sidekick, I tested these jacks with an even longer length of cable over 280ft (other review claimed 250ft). To make it more interesting, I used a generic Cat6 CMR cable from Digilink Global that I had left over.I tested both of the identical Linkomm and Cable Matters jacks and had identical results. First test was with my Lantek 7G Certifier. Second test was with my SignalTEK-CT verifying an error-free throughput of 1 Gig.I am completely comfortable using these jacks. They easily meet the performance standards.

These jacks are nice. I haven't used them all, so I don't know if my pack is completely free of duds, but I've had no issues so far. The punch-down palm puck thing is pretty simple, but it's not flimsy. Most importantly though, these things fit the dreaded 6-jack decorator insert (like the Leviton QuickPort 41646 SKUs and probably others).

This U/UTP keystone jack was easy to terminate and I appreciate the pointed IDC terminals, but it does not pass on Fluke DSX Permanent Link Certification at 250ft using the TIA Cat6 Permanent Link limit. Before anyone blames the cable, I promptly terminated to some tool-less Cat6 unshielded keystones and the link promptly passed. The best I could get this keystone jack to do was pass on TIA Cat6 Channel testing with two known good Cat6 patch cables that passed on PCA (TIA Patch Cord) testing, but it had very little overhead left even with that greatly permissive testing limit and the extremely good quality patch cables. As such, these jacks are definitely not suitable for those running solid copper permanent links and need to TIA Certify their install for a customer, which makes them useless for me. I knocked off two stars right off the bat for not passing TIA Cat6 Permanent Link, and then another star for excessively plastic packaging. Massively wasteful, and definitely not environmentally friendly. The only reason it keeps two stars is the fact most DIY folks running jack to jack OR patch panel to jack will be OK with them since they will pass on bandwidth and Channel testing--barely, and with known good patch cables.

Good value for a pack, and fits nicely into high density decora wall plates (6 port).Only criticism is unlike some others like Monoprice, it doesn't have any cable retention mechanism e.g. cable tie so it's only the connection strength holding it on.

Requires some attention when punching. A couple of modules didn’t work at first then I noticed it just required a second punch on one wire. Their size is the real will. I can fit these in my keystone patch panel no problem.

I needed some colored jacks for my office. I wanted color coded jacks for POE / different Switches / etc. These are orange. When people see them in the walls they won’t know which one to plug into.

Great value slim keystones. If you have an application that can't fit standard keystone's due to density, these keystone's are great. Hopefully you are aware that these are not shielded...if you aren't then you shouldn't be doing anything with keystone's probably.

This product was great and worked as expected. The 568A and B are different (top diagram to bottom diagram) from the blue and white plugs, but it's no big deal to read and plug them in the right places.
