    This is why Pro level is to terminate all of your permanent cabling with punch down jacks and patch panels, then use throw-away patch cables from jacks to devices.

        It’s not that expensive… you can buy a home punch down board for cheap, just need some space. You don’t need an actual rack.

        All of money and downtime I save from replacing broken RJ45 plugs more than covers the $10 tool and extra $2 that it costs for a keystone jack and wall mount box.
