Selling house that we had wired for Wireless POE AP's mounted on the ceiling - eviltoast

Kinda like the title says. I had installed a full Ubiquiti Unifi system in my old house with two AP’s, one upstairs and one downstairs. Removing the hardware to sell the house. What’s the best way to “hide” those Cat6 cables sticking out? Instead of just having cables hanging from the ceiling? Use a keystone jack wall plate maybe? Just wondering what others might suggest to make it look “cleaner” for prospective buyers. Thanks, appreciate the advice!

    Well hooooooooly crap I was not expecting this much response!!

    So some things to note.

    House is being sold as a result of divorce. We’ve both moved on to our own spaces and neither of us have any need for networking as substantial as what I built in that house (I’m in a one bedroom apartment, she’s living with friends). It’s not just Wi-Fi that I had, it was a full UDM SE, POE switch, and cameras too. All the equipment will be sold and we are splitting whatever money I get for it all.

    Our realtor (ex wife’s good friend) was afraid leaving everything up would be a negative in selling as the setup was far more advanced than the average person would understand. So everything has been removed.

    At this point I think the simplest way is to just put a couple wall plates with keystones over the hole that the Ethernet is coming out and calling it a day. But I’m going to look through all the suggestions when I’m off work this afternoon before I do anything! Thanks again for all the responses!!
