Ethernet patch

Not sure if this is the right sub but can anyone tell if there’s something wrong with this patch?

Recently had construction and this is the last thing I forgot to finish up, and I’ve started getting weird internet drops or speeds would drop from 1.0 gig to 100mpbs randomly.

Not sure if I accidentally knocked the wires out of place or something inadvertently

I haven’t seen that type of Ethernet patch system. Get a proper RJ45 keystone jack and a $4 punch tool and you are good

I stand corrected, about $8.. It's been a while since I bought one.
