LINDY CAT6 Single Wall Plate with 2 x Angled RJ-45 Shuttered Socket Unshielded

I bought two of these to replace cat5e wall plates that were giving intermittent trouble due to damaged contacts.As I had fitted Cat5 before and was familiar with the 'B' wire arrangement and methodology, I did not expect any problems.However my Kd-1 punch down tool only managed to trim off two of the eight wires neatly. The others just got mangled. The same tool had worked OK on Cat5e plates.The problem seemed to be caused by a larger stepped shoulder on the offcut site of the terminal blocks - see photo. This effectively fouled the blades of the tool and bent them out of alignment so that they would not cut properly. What an extraordinary design!Anyway the plates otherwise worked fine and I used electricians snips to trim the wires.Finally I found that I could have bought two plates direct from the Lindy website for less.

I have installed a number of these in my house. Both the LINDY CAT6 single and double wall plates. Each socket has a hinged 'dust' flap and above each socket there is a removable see through plastic cover under which you can label each socket.These are good quality and I found them easy to install and wire up, the backplate has each connection easily accessible. (I used a standard network cable insertion tool to push connect the Ethernet cable cores into place).The downward angle works really well and helps keeps cables flush with walls and in my view looks tidier than the normal flat wall sockets available.

You can always rely on LINDY to produce high quality components that are built to last *and* look good. Really happy with how these look on my install - would definitely recommend.

None of the one I ordered worked at more than 100Mpbs. For the money I have spent, it is absolute disgrace. I replaced these with the sockets purchased from my local Maplin and, straightaway, they work at gigabit speed as expected (because the whole network fabric is 1000Mbps).

Works well, easy to wire and is much shallower than most which allowed me to place it directly onto the wall without a pattress box, the metal wall insert being deep enough. Only criticism is maybe the large branding on the case, could be subtler or dispensed with altogether to fit in better with décor.

I like the angle but not really modular as you have to swap out the entire singular module for a double one if you were to add another socket (I'm not even sure if you can buy the modules for this). I would suggest buying the double socket version even if you only need one socket at first. Performs as I would expect however, no problems at all with speeds etc.

Good quality, easy to wire, and works as expected

I actually needed Cat5e - ended up buying exactly the same product just 5e rather than 6. A good socket, we used in our lounge after hiding the wires in the wall and re-plastering.
