Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The need to have our entire home networked is at an all time high and while wireless works, it is not great. The best way is still copper wiring throughout the home (if possible). Naturally we want our wiring done properly and we want it to look as nice as possible at its end point. That is where this patch panel comes into play.
Simply put it has 12 CAT 5e ports which will support Cat 6 cabling as well. The back is color coded to match the standard wiring colors that are found in all cat x cabling (blue, bluewhite etc). The box has the patch panel, screws for mounting, and a small plastic punch tool.
If I had any advice to give - get someone to lend you a PUNCH down tool so you can terminate your wires with ease. The plastic tool included works...but a proper punch down tool would give you a better termination and thus less headaches.
(Search for a standard 110 block punch down tool). Here is one on amazon: [ASIN:B0000AZK4D TRENDnet Punch Down Tool with 110 and Krone Blade TC-PDT]]
The panel is made to fit in a Leviton Structured Media Center enclosure, if you have one....if not you can simply mount it to a wall. It comes with two rows of 6 cat 5e jacks and has two empty rows towards the right for adding more cat5e jacks, telephone jacks...etc...
Excellent product and quality.5/5
