5.0 out of 5 stars
Works well but not a drop in replacement,

This review is from: Leviton 40215-W Out-of-Site Power Jack, Cordless Telephone Wall Phone Wallplate Surface Mount, 6P4C Jack, White (Tools & Home Improvement)
First of all, this is NOT a drop in replacement for a phone jack. It will NOT get power from the phone line to power your cordless phone. That said it is an excellent way to get the DC power wall wart out of sight.
Ordered with Amazon prime, received two days later. Started on the install immediately and took about 2 hours including fishing wire through the walls. Had to take out the old phone jack that came with the house, but luckily it came with an approved outlet box. You need a full outlet box not just a low voltage frame since you will be running 120v into the box. To comply with the NEC you have to run the phone wire outside of the box in the wall so that it maintains separation from the high voltage cable. If you didn't just understand what I said, I suggest you hire an electrician. You will notice that there are only two voltage settings which is fine since most phones have a regulator and will work with a wide variety of input voltages. Just follow the manual. The power plugs are Radioshack style so if none of the included ones work, just take the phone to a Radioshack store and buy an adaptaplug that fits. It is a very nice addition to my kitchen and adds style and decor by hiding the ugly wires and wall wart.

This product works exactly as advertised and it gets rid of all that ugly clutter of power supply cords.
I do have one complaint and that's about the power cord adapters they provide to power your phone. I have Panasonic phones and none of the adapters they provide fit my phone. They LOOK like they do but they don't supply power. Since I'm a gear head, it was no big deal, I just cut the power cord they provide and spliced in the original Panasonic plug and it worked perfectly. So that's why I didn't give it the 5 stars it deserves. It's not plug and play in my experience. This must be costing them since I returned the first unit as defective and just persevered with the second one until I found out the problem. As they say, your results may differ.

7-9 Volts is Old Technology,
This review is from: Leviton 40215-W Out-of-Site Power Jack, Cordless Telephone Wall Phone Wallplate Surface Mount, 6P4C Jack, White (Tools & Home Improvement)
All of the new DECT phones use 6v at the base. It seems the only cordless phones 7v or more are the older 5.8 GHz technology. I put this plate in my wall in December 2011 and when my 2008 phone breaks, I'm screwed. I just sent back a Panasonic DECT phone that wouldn't work with this plate.
