Hi

 

I didn't want my first post to be asking for help but I'm at a lost as to what is going on here.

 

I am currently in the process of sourcing all the materials needed for an infrastructure upgrade in my house and have purchased some Dynamix cat6 keystones along with some PDL 600 series faceplates as well as the little adapters that allows third party keystones to fit into the PDL faceplate, my problem is the keystone with the adapter clipped onto it just sits in the faceplate and the smallest amount of force pushes the keystone along with the adapter out and I can imagine when I go to plug in a patch cable the same will happen.

 

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, do I need to glue the adapters to the face plate or something?

 

And by faceplate I mean the bulky "sub-plate" which screws into the flush mount not the "finished" plate which clips on.

 

I intend to return to the supplier tomorrow and get their opinion on it but thought I would ask here first and perhaps save myself the trip.

 

Thanks.

The adapter should sit really tightly in the PDL place. I had huge troubles taking them out of some used ones I got when I was changing the orientation around on them, shouldnt be falling out at all.

 

No glue needed, just snap the adapter in, then push the keystone into that. Unless you have some weird malformed keystones or something.

Well after reading your post I gave it another try and like I said in the OP "I feel like I'm missing something obvious" turns out I was.

 

I was trying to put the adapter in from the back with the keystone attached, I had initially tried putting the adapter in from the front at first but felt like I was going to break it but sure enough with a bit more force it snapped in snugly.

 

Man I feel I like an idiot, ahhhhhhh its been a long day.

 

Thanks for the help and saving me looking like a drip if I returned to the supplier. :)
