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!

Another possibility would be to leave the hardware installed during showings, and make sure to say the house is wired professionally, but the hardware would not stay, but cables can be reused.

As a buyer, I would like to see the cables hanging otherwise.

If you remove the AP, leave pictures near their location saying it is wired and can be reused.

For us in this sub, this would be a plus for the house.
