Re: [Nolug] Can RJ45 wall jacks go bad?

The low voltage contractor should have left a service loop at each drop for
just such an issue. You should be able to open up the wall plate a punch
down the connector again.

I have found the products at monoprice to be a good choice for home use,
and they are priced well.
