From my research, terminals (keystone jacks or patch panels) that have angled IDC's are Krone. Ones with perpendicular/straight IDC's are 110 and others that have perpendicular/straight but with "butterfly" cutouts are hybrid 110/Krone (can be used with either punchdown tool blade).
I bought these from Monoprice and they were spec'ed (at least according to their website) as 110's but the actual product have angled connectors as shown in the pics. At first I thought "what the heck!" because I only had a 110/66 tool available. But the 110 blade went through the terminals without any resistance. So I don't know.
I then contacted Monoprice and instead of giving me a technical answer they just refunded me for those jacks right away, bummer!
Then I came across this thread which looks like the OP has the same question as mine. I tried searching for other threads for "hybrid 110/Krone" but came up empty. I still have a strong feeling that this is also one type of hybrid (the other one is like I described above) but is just not advertised well.
Do you guys have any ideas? I don't want using the wrong tool for this home project just because "it fits".
