Telecom Ethernet Wall Cat6 Keystone Network Coupler - Pack of 10

Q: Do these fit side by side with say a 2x3 keystone wall plate, or one of those stick-on-wall boxes? I've read that some are a bit too wide.

It fit my 2x3 from HD Model #5006-WH by Commercial Electric. I have 4 of these units connected to this plate. Plus some other keystone units. They also fit this plate from amazon 2x3 : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZZUZ6Q/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Q: What is the data throughput on these keystones? item description claims 'speeds up to 1gbp/s'. choke point?

They are compliant with Cat6/Cat5e/Cat5 standards. So speeds up to 1Gbp/s. If your entire network is built for 1Gbp/s you should be fine as everything will have cross talk. If your switching, wiring, networking equipment and inbound/outbound connection all have capacity of above 1Gbp/s you'll need shielded. If you contact us with your intended use we could provide better insight. Generally Cat6 1Gbp/s is everywhere and is pretty standard right now for deployments. 6A/Shielded (above 1Gbp/s) is more rare/special circumstances.

Q: Does this come with the tool to push the wires into the slots? If not, what do you suggest that will work?

It does not come with it. You can get a cheap one to do it. Look at the suggested items when you have this in your cart, it will surely pop up.

Q: Can i connect to a cat7 cable (assuming i need only cat6 speed)

No. You need a cat7 jack. Why? Each cat7 wire is slightly thicker than cat6 wire so it will not punch down onto the jack correctly & will come loose in the future.
