  • Great product! Works as expected
We got a new house and it had telephone jacks throughout. Luckily it was Cat5e wiring to each jack so I put in ethernet jacks in place of it and needed a patch panel to wire them in to. This worked perfect and was easy to wire in to. It has color coding for both A and B standards (I chose A since it can also be used for regular phones if needed) and is nice and compact and mounted great to the plywood by our electrical panel. I might get another if I end up using all 8 ports and need more. ... show more

  • everything works good. The pegs fit nicely in the hole pattern ...
At first I thought the punch down blocks were kinda flimsy, so I didn't want to punch down too hard, fearing that flexing the PCB may open up some of the barrels or traces on the board. But after installing 5 of the 8 ports, everything works good. The pegs fit nicely in the hole pattern I have in the Leviton panel. Compared to the overpriced Leviton data module, this definitely prefer this. ... show more

  • Failed after 2 months, AVOID
I’ve been using this ethernet hub for a couple months now and I would NOT recommend it to anyone. When I first installed the hub into my network closet it seemed pretty robust since the housing is metal and the whole thing is heavy. HOWEVER, 2 months later I needed to make some changes to my network so I installed a new ethernet drop to the hub and as I was punching down the new ethernet drop into the hub panel I immediately lost connection to two of the AP’s connected directly to the hub. I could not figure out what went wrong since I didn’t touch any of the existing connections on the hub. After scratching my head for a few minutes I decided to try wiggling the affected RJ45 jacks on the hub and sure enough as I physically moved the jacks around the two AP’s reconnected. This is extremely concerning to me since I don’t know if something broke internally on the circuit board, if the jacks just got knocked loose, or if the jack itself has a bad connection. Either way I will have to replace this expensive hub after 2 months since I can’t risk it failing. My recommendation; there’s a lot of newer and better hubs out there rated for cat6 or 7. I will be looking to replace this hub with something more reliable. ... show more

  • Great Product and easy to install
Am a professional installer and had a very small job for wiring a small office for voice and data (one line to two areas and three data locations). I purchased this product because I also purchased the Steren voice hub module. Like the voice module, I installed this on a piece of ply board by removing the legs and fastening with decking screws. It created a very sturdy mount. When I first purchased I was a bit leery of how it would be configured for 568A versus 568B. However, after a few quick emails with their support and reading the documentation, I was able to easily determine how to configure it for 568B Hats off to their support. Punched all cables needed into the port and tested successfully. Like the voice hub, I would definitely buy another one. The ONLY thing I could find wrong with this and it is not a big one is that I would prefer that the punch down connectors be on TOP of the RJ45 jacks. In my installations I usually have the wiring coming in from the ceiling and patch cables going to some switch/router (ISR) below. Great product. ... show more

  • Great savings
Worked great, fit well, all punches were clean the first time. Remember to keep the twist in the Cat5e’s uniform and minimize cutting back the jacket and untwisting. If you’re asking, “why?”... Google how twisted pair (Cat5e) works.

  • Mounting pins shatter easily
This looks like a well made product, at least the metal parts. Where it falls short is on the durability of the mounting pins. I ordered 3 of these and they all had their mounting pins smashed or broken. Across the three of them out of 12 mounting pins I had only *two* intact while the modules where still in their unopened plastic bag. Without the mounting pins you have to scramble for an alternative mounting solution to secure the module to the enclosure - and you need some short stubby sheet metal screws that can thread and hold through the 1/4inch pre-drilled holes of the enclosure. The #14 1/2inch screws at the local hardware store are too small still, bigger screws exist only in much longer sizes, so you'll have to get creative... I did not want to use self drilling screws and drill new holes in the enclosure wall - so I returned mine and used the Morris Products 87114 8 Port Cat5e Voice/Data Module instead - the position of the mounting pins match the Steren FastHome enclosures and the product arrived with all the plastic mounting pins intact. ... show more

  • Works with Leviton Structured Panels as well.
I took a chance and bought this not knowing if it would work with the Leviton Structured Panels but it does. The hole spacing is the same so this is a nice option for the Leviton Panels as well. Works well so far. This is a native T568B (Colors on left side BLU, ORG, GRN, BRN) and has T568A alternate wiring (Colors on right side (BLU,GRN,ORG,BRN). ... show more

  • Easy and quick setup
I bought this patch panel to clean up the area around the cable modem and the router in our new home. I moved both from the finished area of the basement to under the stairs in the storage area. It was very easy to install. The cables attach right to the front and the box lists both A and B configuration on the individual terminals. Plus it includes a larger picture on the bottom. The basic punch down tool that came with one of the keystone jacks worked fine and that was great as I did not need to purchase another tool. The panel is designed to go inside of Steren's case/box. There are four plastic pins on the sides to do so. I snapped them out to mount the panel to a "one by" I placed behind the shelf. Overall, the process was quick and easy. I had the two cables punched down and the unit setup in under five minutes. And now I have room to add the runs to the den and the living room. ... show more
