Description
Boost Me (for free)
A simple and clean solution for Ethernet connections in drywall ceilings. If it helps your project, a Boost is greatly appreciated!
This model was designed to create clean and professional Ethernet outlets in suspended drywall ceilings.
Instead of pulling loose network cables through the ceiling, this system allows permanent installation of RJ45 Keystone Jacks inside a removable snap-in insert. Standard patch cables can then be connected directly to the ceiling outlet.
The design consists of two separate components:
1. Mounting Frame
The mounting frame is inserted into a rectangular drywall cutout and secured using integrated clamping brackets.
2. Snap-In Keystone Insert
The insert holds up to 6 standard RJ45 Keystone Jacks and snaps securely into the mounting frame. It can be removed at any time for maintenance or upgrades.
