Leviton 5G108-AW5 Cat 5e 8-Wire QuickPort Adaptor Jack, White, 10-Pack

No surprises

Ive occasionally installed Ethernet runs for work, myself, family and friends for about 15 years. These are the way to go. The QuickPort plates allow you to mix and match connectors and the connectors themselves are rock solid. They work consistently and hold up well. I recently wired my parents new house with Ethernet drops to each room. I started out using a generic equivalent I could get in quantity locally at Home Depot. Big mistake. I had so much trouble with getting the jacks properly terminated and tested because of the poor quality of the jacks. Some jacks that were working stopped working over time, I guess because of poor tension on the wire connections. I ended up coming back, ripping everything out, and putting in Leviton instead. Lesson learned.

Good quality keystone 8P8C jacks. Im able to run gigabit on Cat5 wires with these jacks. Well worth the installation.

Trust me, never go off brand to save some money. Buy Leviton and the quality and reliability are worth it.

These Leviton jacks are color-labeled for correct wiring so i got all of them correctly wired without any problem. Great that a small plastic fork was provided together with these jacks. With this small plastic fork i have all jacks in my project wired easily. Years ago i did the same job with a small screw driver and it was so difficult for me! I tested all my cables with a tester after i had my home wired, and found 3 of them had at least one wire not connected. It turned out the issue was with my Cat 5e pinouts. I bought these pinouts cheap from a local computer store. Once i cut them off and clamped on new pinouts, all 8 wires are connected. Might i bought these pinouts too cheap or i didnt clamped them well. Two things i do want to mention, if you are new to this like me: 1. These jacks and Leviton insets are directional. I was not able to push one jack into Leviton inserts and noticed i had it upside down. (Simple: just check the embossed 5e on these jacks and top on Leviton insers.) 2. Each jack comes with a cover cap for you to cover it after wiring. After wiring, I had to cut the extra wires clearly along the jack. Otherwise the cover cap wont get pushed to place.

I dont know who needs to hear this, but that aint blue.

I have purchased the same brand locally before and they were great as well as these. Every one of them I have terminated worked great, no issues so far.

I bought a 10 pack and 5 out of the ten broke. Lowes own brand were so much better. Also, try Hubbel !!!

Easy to wire up, quick to snap into the wall plate. Looks and works great when all is said and done.

Reliable and easy to work with
