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.
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 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.
