We purchased these 12 Port Patch Panels for our installs if clients do not request or wish to pay the higher price for Leviton... Quality similiar to Leviton at 1/3rd the price. No failures after 30 installs...

I'd never worked with a patch panel before, and needed a small one for my house. This was the perfect size, and very easy to punch down and mount on the wall. Highly recommended.

I purchased 1 of these several years ago and it really simplified the cobble job the DSL installation guy did. I cut out his mess and ran all my main floor Cat5 DSL lines to this patch panel. Then I used 24" patch cables to connect each to my 8 port Router Switch. Still working flawlessly 3 years later. Now I am buying a second one to tie in my DSL lines from my newly finished basement. The patch panels will allow me to select which eight jacks I want to make active through my router switch without rewiring. Makes my Furnace room wall look nice and neat without a huge rat's nest of cables.

I fully renovated our new house, and in doing so ran cat5 to all the rooms to the basement. I punched down the wiring to this patch panel and mounted it in a distributed wiring box. The panel was easy to use with a punch down tool for me who had little experience doing so & it was well labeled so I didn't have to keep referencing printouts for wiring diagrams. Plus the price was right!

The Tripp Lite unit was just what I needed to add 8 new network stations. It was easy to install, and was easy to punch down the Cat 5 Cable leads. I have never had a problem with is reliability. Also Amazon has always been easy to work with.

Being as this is a patch panel, there's not too much to say about it. The punchdowns work just fine, and are capable of handling gigabit Ethernet. I've had my network up for a month using these.

We moved into a new office space that was already wired with CAT5. Not knowing the exact setup of office users, hardware placement, IP phone locations, etc., I decided to patch things into our routers and other hardware rather than directly connecting each termination. This definitely made the job quick and easy.

I have now purchased two of these (style) panels for both by home and my brothers. In both situations, mounting and wiring were simple tasks. I haven't had any problems with the panel popping out of the brackets, but I do agree with one reviewer the mounting bracket does feel a little weak. Overall: very satisfied and would quickly purchase again if needed.

Well it hangs on the wall and you can terminate all of your cables to it. What more could you want. I haven't had any issues with it falling off the wall, or cables coming undone so I say buy it!

The construction of the patch panel itself is very solid. I have no problem punching down all 12 connections. However, the bracket is a bit on the weak side. The patch panel popped out of the wall bracket easily a few times.
