I’m going to wire up some #rj45, which I haven’t done in like a decade+ and found this in my kit. Feels like I should know or remember what this is for and how to use it but don’t. Anybody recognize this?

@macbraughton yes, that's for holding the keystone jack so you can use the punch down tool.

here we go #rj45

i got lucky with the first one with the pass through connectors… that seems to be the only one like that in the set I’ve got??? #rj45

I think i’m gonna just get some better connectors… these aren’t even cat 6. Fun trial run though #rj45

Oh, the abundance of riches. You can get 100 packs for under $20 now? #rj45

Just putting this here, because why not? #rj45

the dark blue and the dark green are NOT supposed to be next to each other

Just remembering when the old connectors were all we had

Look ma, I'm doing #retrocomputing just by putting together equipment I've had lying around for 15 years because I never got around to it #rj45
