Leviton 61110-BC6 eXtreme 6+ QuickPort Connector, CAT 6, Crimson, 25-Pack

Pros: Easy to plug and install cabling. In the end there is no really a special tool required to install them even a small screwdriver works. Cons: None

Nothing special just had to get this brand since I was expanding on a customers equipment.

The jacks were exactly what I needed for a big job

Ive used Leviton for over a decade and Im still using them even though theres other less expensive options, I never had one fail on me.

A bit of a price leap up from the CAT5e unit, other than that theres not much to go wrong with it. Bought the Leviton modular faceplate to go with it and it looks good.

I have tried other keystone port systems, but always come back to Leviton. They definitely arent going to win the price war, but they just seem more substantial and higher precision than the others. I have used these for a mixture of RJ11, RJ45, Coax, RCA, and Banana jacks -- and all of them fit perfectly, with no slop or play. One word of caution -- Leviton used to package the RJ11 and RJ45 jacks with a small, plastic punch-down tool. No more. If you dont already have one, you will need to order a punch-down tool separately for the RJ11/RJ45 jacks (or get the new tool free jacks, which are quite a bit more expensive).

Crappy quality. Works terrible on well insulated Cat 6 cables. It is not even worth $1.

Downside, Leviton is expensive... Upside, Leviton is expensive for a reason. These are really well-made jacks which install reliably every time. Ive never had an issue, even when re-using them. Theyre even made in the US, I believe (maybe Mexico), and at this price theyre actually about the same or maybe a little cheaper than the clone sold at the local big orange box store. You can definitely get cheaper keystone jacks, and some of them might even work fine, but Ive realized time is money and I dont want to spend mine chasing weird signal integrity issues from substandard jacks. Every time I install cabling, I look at the cheaper options and Im tempted. Then I realize that if I have to replace just one bad jack, Ive eliminated whatever cost savings I might have had. Do it right, do it once.

Great, took < 3 mins to layer in the network strands and use the provided backplate to sandwich/splice the wires together making a flawless Cat 6 connection. Paired with Leviton 41641-W QuickPort Decora Insert and Leviton 80401-W 1-Gang Decora/GFCI wall plate. NO TOOLS REQUIRED!

This Cat6 Ethernet jack snaps into the matching Leviton faceplates. I use the Leviton 6-port faceplate in a 2x3 layout. Start populating with these jacks on the top row first, then work down. The faceplate says which way is UP. I use it with the Leviton punch tool. Everything works really well. It has attached stickers for type A and type B Ethernet wiring. Peel away the top sticker (B) to reveal the bottom sticker (A). Works great. It doesnt matter if you use A or B, but you have to be consistent -- each end of the wire has to be wired the same. For my house, many years ago I chose A. There is also a snap-on cable holder (shaped like a U) that helps hold the wiring in place. It isnt visible in the photo, but is a nice touch. I highly recommend these. I especially like the large variety of colors available. I use the white jacks for regular Ethernet (Internet), green jacks for CCTV cameras, and red jacks for digital speakers. Scott
