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!

We bought a home that had lots of cabling but it was very badly arranged and installed, lots of it just laying on suspended ceiling in the basement in random directions, so I ripped it all out and did my own. After four years I'm still working on things such as badly placed outlets and even light switches that require you to walk across a dark room to turn on the lights, so this is not just homeowner but also the builder. When we switched from cable to fiber optic the installer wanted to just drill a new hole through the siding into our home office. And the new cable laid on top of my lawn for nearly two months before they sent out a guy to bury it by hand.
