cat6 keystones don't fit standard faceplates
(OP)
Help! We took over a partially complete cabling job and discovered that the CAT6 keystones are non standard. They have the clips similar to Leviton/Hubble, but the keystone doesn't fit in the normal faceplate opening.
The size of these keystones are 3/4 by 5/8 inch. The only marking on them is c6 on the front, and 7-372 F on the back. We don't know the manufacturer.
We've traveled to Graybar and 4 other supply houses and no one has heard or see of these jacks before.
Did I mention there was 300 of them? UGGG
Thanks in advance!

Unless you get all parts from the same manufacturer they don't fit well. Can't count the jobs I've seen where ill fitting jacks were pushed through plates...

I had one of my guys go back there looking for empty bags. Luckily the previous cabler wrapped the ends in the bags they came in.
thanks for the input.

Just the same as not all Ivory or Gray is the same. I love to avoing AMP like the plague, and since I'm a Leviton house, I pretty much know what colors and keystones fit the housings.
