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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Adequate for most households and easier than a full-blown punchdown block *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Note the 568A pinout *by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2023* 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 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2441751-telephone-patching-expansion-board-47609-emp-white](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2441751-telephone-patching-expansion-board-47609-emp-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
