Leviton 47609-EMP Telephone Patching Expansion Board, White

I was performing a condo remodel which had two incoming phone lines from two different services (one traditional copper, one from a cable provider). This panel allows you to quickly and easily swap around lines 1 and 2 on different inputs (or line 1 one four different inputs) and patch out different lines to different ports using basic modular RJ plugs without rewiring the incoming punchdown block.If you do have two inputs though and want to make your life easier, I'd suggest pairing it with https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QQU0DAA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , and terminating a small bit of Cat5 from the punchdown block here into a RJ12 jack to plug your incoming lines into. That gives you modular plug for two line inputs and a variety of modular plugs for outputs -- your own on-site switchboard! I'm kind of surprised no one makes that yet.Anyway... this is perfect, except for being slightly over-priced. Oh well.

I got this to replace an old four-screw block in my basement that all the phone cabling in my house was screwed into. All the phone cabling in my house was old and I was looking to replace it (the block that is currently there was very old and not all of the phone cabling was securely screwed into it, plus I was looking to upgrade this cabling where I actually want to use it to modern Cat cables). This was easier than a "regular" 66 or 110 punchdown panel considering I was just doing my own house and didn't have any crazy needs. How this product works is that all the "rows" are connected/bridged, so any can be used as your "in" row, and any/all of the others can be used to connect your actual line(s). This product has punchdowns for all eight wires in a 4-pair cable (so supports up to 4 lines), though most phone cabling won't use more than 3 pairs (and my house only has 2 coming in, though I used Cat 5e cable and connected all 4 pairs on the panel and just left the extra two wires in my RJ12 jack folded back and unused--but there should I ever end up needing them).I do not have the Leviton enclosure that this product was designed to fit into, but my version did say "with bracket" and I was able to mount it on my wall after removing the built-in rubber pieces in the back piece that are probably intended to fit it into that enclosure. I only have one other cable (besides the one in from outside) connected and it's worked well for me--actually more reliable than the screw-in block this replaced, where I think the connections were getting loose. But I could add up to nine total other jacks throughout my house if I wanted.My wiring coming in from outside was the old "quad wire" colors--red, green, black, and yellow--but I was able to match them up to the correct colors on this Cat-colored punchdown block with the help of my favorite search engine (usually white+blue = green, blue = red, white+orange = black, and orange=yellow). Besides that, this was pretty easy to use by following the provided instructions and the labeling on the modern cabling I used inside my house, and again, it was much easier than a "real" punchdown block.

These work well for pre existing cat5e wiring. The 568A pinout is fine if you are installing new RJ45 wall outlets (for instance replacing RJ11 or RJ14 phone jacks). If you are connecting to existing RJ45 outlets just look up that wiring pattern first to make sure you don’t want a 568B pinout adapter instead

Used this product to replace my parents rats nest of splicing lines together. The product is designed to fit into their media box, but not easily used by itself. Had to find a nail that was thin enough to fit through the holes to secure to the wall. Beyond that, the product was easy once hung to connect to and splice the main line into 6 connections. I didn't want to try messing with the connection bridge at the top, so I plugged the main into one of the 7 slots.

Wires punch down cleanly and w/o any problem with good hold. Spacing very good to route wires. No complaints, good bridge board.

1 with 1 FXO 1 FXS1 with 2 FXSFED My POTS Landline into the FXO, set my free home phone g-voice to the FXS port on ata 1Programmed T.38, toll free biz & local dial lines to ata 2PLUGGED a 6” phone cord from each of the 3 FXS ports into a 4X RJ11 in to 1X RJ45 out, plugged cat6 into the out port, cut off the other end of the cat6 patch & stripped & punched to the 110 on this. Then ran patch cables from the RJ45 ports on this to ports on my 12 port panel & now all my numbers can ring throughout the house.

Product worked well for rewiring the phone/internet in my house. Included a simple punch down tool, and made the central hookup simple. I used CAT5e wire, and it eliminated all the crackling on my phone lines, plus I got a little more speed on my ADLS2 internet line. I did not mount it in a box, just screwed it to a wall . Made it all very neat.

Came with a little punchdown tool, which was a nice touch.

Worked very well to distribute voice circuits to various areas of the house using my phone modem are as the demark point.

Easy to use, came included with the punch down tool. It fit within the Leviton enclosure but I didn't need to use the bracket included, my enclosure had a bracket already in place.

Sadly ended up not using but not because it's not suitable.I just felt that for for 4 x 2 pair cables I wanted to connect it was overkill.So used a smaller type of connector instead.As a product it's a fabulous bit of kit and the guys in US came back straight away to me when I had some queries.

Used to clean up phone lines coming into the home, worked well, good product

Came exactly as shown. Worked in my re-cabling project
