How to remove a rj45 jack from a wall plate

Easily remove rj45(keystone) jacks from any wall plate in two simple steps.

 

Whether making home improvements or working in tight commercial spaces, ease of installation is always a top priority and Legrand’s Keystone, our flagship Jack is no exception to this rule. In a few short steps we will teach you how to remove rj45 jacks from a wall plate at your leisure. 

 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
-    SCREWDRIVER

 

1.)    With the screwdriver, unscrew the top and bottom screw from the wall plate counterclockwise until the screw comes off the plate.

 

 

Once the screws have been removed, the wall plate will fall from the wall smoothly, then rotate the inside of the face plate towards yourself where you will see a set up like this.

 

 

2.) Gently press down the top clip on the back of the rj45 jack while simultaneously pressing the front of the jack with your thumb and it will pop directly off with minimal force.
