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!

I'd install a single gang box and let the wire dangle.

I purposely ran all my ceiling wires to boxes. Easy for the next owner to add an AP mount or throw a cover over if they don't want to use it.

Everything runs back to patch panels in the basement (and is labeled), so all wiring conveys with the home and all hardware goes with me.
