Some helpful tips were offered for users to ensure a smooth installation process. Different sized RJ45s are required for CAT5 and CAT6 cables due to differences in wire gauge. Using a good cable stripper instead of a knife was recommended to avoid inConsistencies in video or networking issues. Proper termination of shielded CAT cable was also emphasized, including managing the shield, using RJ45s designed for shielded cable, and taking care not to nick conductors during trimming or stripping of shielding. One customer reported that the jacks did not work well with shielded cable ends, requiring some adjustments to get accurate readings on a tester. Another customer was disappointed that the jacks did not achieve gigabit transfer as advertised, having experienced higher speeds with other RJ45 sockets. Overall, the VCE 5-Pack RJ45 Cat6 Shielded Metal Keystone Jacks have been praised for their ease of installation and sturdy Construction. However, there may be some limitations when it comes to compatibility with shielded cable ends and achieving higher transfer speeds.
