TRENDnet Cat6A RJ45 Keystone Inline Coupler Keystone Jack, 6-Pack, TC-KC06C6A, Keystone Jack Female to Female for Wall Plates & Blank Shielded Keystone Patch Panels, Silver

These are great! I’ve tried a couple different keystone couplers, these are the best looking easiest installs I’ve found.

These are cast alloy housings with serious shielding. They are well built and the tool-less feature actually seems to be designed very well.I generally use CAT6 for everything, but occasionally I need a backhaul or extension between network rooms and this, combined with shielded CAT6a cable, seems to do great. Passes certification and haven't had any problems with them yet, but I have only installed about 6 or 8 of these in total, while I have used thousands of the plastic CAT6 ports. But initial impression is that I am very impressed with them.

Got these a bit ago and finally got to use them.They worked well. I did learn to be careful and make sure you get the excess wire cut as short as possible one on because a few I had failed tests. Turns out the wires had been a bit longer and broke the protection tape or whatever causing contact on metal and thus a short.Beyond being very picky on tolerance with that they seem great. No tool needed except to cut the wire and strip etc.

The all-metal tab at the bottom of the coupler is wider than the plastic CAT 6 couplers you can buy elsewhere: I use the UL listed CableMatters couplers (the Monoprice units fail over time).I had to use a Dremel cutting tool to trim down the width of the tab so I could insert It into a Tripplight 48 port patch panel. After that, it functioned fine. Just be ready for a little extra work. Dave.

Wired it up without much hardware experience. It did not take too long and worked at full speed once connected.

The quality seems okay, but these are a PITA to assemble. The plastic piece that eventually connects to the body does not have the cable terminators. Once you feed the cat6 cable through the plastic piece, there's virtually no way to secure every single strand into its designated slot. They will just not stay inside the slot. I am used to Keystone jacks where the termination blades are in the small plastic part. That that way once you feed the individual strands into the right slots they stay put. Here it is a bit of a guessing game if something moved between you lining all the individual strands up and making the final connection with the body.

Extremely happy with the way these performed and terminated the CAT6A cable. Very easy to use and does the job right. Very expensive though but they are well built

All good
