married to keystone jacks, we use keystone jacks for rj11/45 & hdmi and
and and and....

Looks at these pretty pics when you check for keystone jacks for audio:

Monoprice in the US has MUCH better pricing, and pretty much the same
quality. Shipping from Monoprice is quite reasonable.
Check their snagless(and booted) offerings here:
