Selling house that we had wired for Wireless POE AP's mounted on the ceiling (alien.top)

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!

Personally, I would leave it in place, and call it out as a feature in listings / showings. For your showings they can join the guest network and see how good their reception is.

I had put in a camera system at my last house and left it up with a cheap monitor for the showings. Sure I could have repurposed it after my move, but it was a good opportunity to upgrade with a guaranteed buyer for the old stuff. (and at a much higher sale price than I could have gotten off of marketplace listings.)
