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. We moved into a new office space that was already wired with CAT5. This definitely made the job quick and easy.
Quality similiar to Leviton at 1/3rd the price. We purchased these 12 Port Patch Panels for our installs if clients do not request or wish to pay the higher price for Leviton. No failures after 30 installs.
In both situations, mounting and wiring were simple tasks. Overall: very satisfied and would quickly purchase again if needed. I have now purchased two of these (style) panels for both by home and my brothers. 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.
What more could you want. Well it hangs on the wall and you can terminate all of your cables to it. I haven't had any issues with it falling off the wall, or cables coming undone so I say buy it.
I have no problem punching down all 12 connections. The patch panel popped out of the wall bracket easily a few times. The construction of the patch panel itself is very solid. However, the bracket is a bit on the weak side.
