QuickPort 12-Port Multimedia Patch Block with Mounting Bracket, 47689-QP

I used this for my home network since I had an abundance of keystone jacks to use up. The one issue is if you are using shielded twisted pair cabling. I had to run a couple of lines through an electrical chase and needed to use STP to minimize electrical interference. The issue is when it was terminated at the panel, the STP was so thick that I could not make the turn required to properly seat the jack. The solution was a 1"/2.5cm spacer behind the panel. Otherwise works great.

I installed this patch block in a Leviton structured media (wiring) cabinet. I bought it because it was Leviton-brand, and not too overpriced (unlike much of Leviton's other accessories). The shape of this patch block is different (higher, with a different angle) than many other common blocks. Depending on the application, that could be a positive or a negative factor. Because the innards of this particular cabinet won't be touched very often, there shouldn't be any problems. If the application required frequent changes, then this product probably wouldn't be good enough because it doesn't snap very tightly into the cabinet.

I was helping a non-profit get their network closet in order. I had a lot of keystones, but no patch panel. So this was perfect. I really like the freedom of being able to use whatever keystones types you have. I had all cat5e, but you could use phone or whatever. Another reviewer said it doesn't stay together well for him. It is true that there are three subsections of 4 ports each. While putting the keystones, the subsections did come out a couple times. But once everything was together, it works great! If I have one thing bad to say, I like patch panels that you can swing open. It's a bit more of a pain to add more ports here. The mounting is the exact same kind of mount that you have on a 66 block. But even though I like better patch panels, I usually never swing them open again so who cares in the end?

Does the job intended.

The face plate is metal, but the mounting bracket is plastic, so it's a little wobbly getting things in place. But, overall, the frame and construction works well enough. Why I gave this a 2-star review instead of 4 is because the slots for the keystone blocks are just a tad too close together, so it is not possible with my keystone blocks to put the blocks adjacent: they have to go every other hole. So, instead of a 12-port patch block, I have a 6-port patch block. It would only require 1 more millimeter of space between each of the slots to accommodate the keystone blocks--and there is plenty of extra faceplate area, so the overall dimensions wouldn't have to change. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to shave the keystone blocks down to fit, so I had to order 2 of these to handle my needs. Still cheaper than having to order new keystone blocks and redo all the wiring. Bottom line: this is an adequate product, but be sure you get keystone blocks that are narrow and will fit this unit.

Great system vs punch down. Wish they had more than just 12 next size up was overkill. Organizes your cables neatly.

Good mini patch panel for my attic. Works well.

Works like it should

As ordered

The openings on this panel are spaced for leviton jacks or jacks of the same width (about 17mm). If your jacks measure more than 17mm in width they will not fit side-by-side. Mine looked narrow enough in the photos but they were just over 18mm wide and they did not fit.
