hey, sorry for the stupid question but how do I go about installing this guys? Do I just strip the cable and match the colors? The thing that is throwing me off is that it comes with 2 other place things that I'm not sure how to use.

Anyone have any experience with this and have any suggestions?

This is what I picked up at monoprice.com

Don't strip. Just place with wires where they are labeled for 568b. For example the solid orange wire would go in the solid orange slot, orange/white wire goes in the orange/white slot. Then push down with the little caps included.

Make sure you keep the cables twisted to within 1/2 inch of the slots. An easy way is to keep the wires twisted and just open one of the twisted pairs up a little bit, say 2 inches away from the ends - push that over. You might get better results in networking forum.
