Easy distribution connection
Nice product. Easy to connect. You need to know it comes with 586A wiring circuit board as both ends need the same wiring when connecting to an RJ45 network jack at the far end. It is still OK to use cables with B wiring plugged into the 45 jacks at both ends. Needs better labeling.

This comes with a bracket that you may not need
Used this to clean up my Analog (Land Line) line coming into my house and it fits nicely in my Structured Cabinet. It’s a bit pricey for what you get but that’s typical for Leviton. Remember you get what you pay for.

Works Very Well
I bought two of these to clean up the mess of a phone system that I had. Three phone lines into an old style block were a mess to say the least. This has a capacity for four lines and it works like a champ and is super easy to use. I removed the plastic clips that are designed to hold it into the Leviton box and just screwed it directly to the joist and it sits square and solid. It even comes with a plastic punch down tool. I would not hesitate to buy again.

Two of these have failed in a period of about 5 years
I’ve had two of these modules fail where one or more of the plugs pull up from the circuit board and loses connection. It’s a total pain to diagnose as the plugs come disconnected intermittently as pressure is moved around the board by connecting and disconnecting cables, or redoing the punch downs. After the second failure, I cut all the cables and put on RJ45 connectors, then bought a bunch of F/F couplers to patch straight to the network switch. IMO it looks better, was easier to install, and best of all thus far supports 900Mb/s internet.

Telco line management made simple
These things are great for organizing your telephone lines whether it be in your home or a small business. Makes it so convenient to connect the telephone wires from the various room to a central punch down location.

Perfect panel for running extension lines in a residence
Perfect panel for running extension lines in a residence. Avoids trying to wrap 4 or 5 lines around an old Bell block or using a pocket full of jelly bean connectors. Neater and more professional too. Remove the included pins for fastening to the Leviton rack, and you can just screw it onto a panel or a joist. Punch down and done.

Leviton 47605-C5B Category 5 Voice and Data…works great
Easy to install and works great. I have some trouble initially when trying to install it inside my panel as I don’t have the Leviton Structured Media Center. I drilled a couple of holes on my panel and secure the bracket with 2 screws, it holds the board well.

Nice and simple, works great
Nice and simple way to distribute phone service through a house. I know analog phones are nearly extinct, but no local stores carried anything like this with the exception of Lowes who had one that was part of an overpriced structured wiring system. I realize that this is technically part of the same type of system, but it’s super easy to cut off the plastic tabs and wall mount this standalone.

Finicky to get a good connection
Some of the contacts would not give a solid connection until I reworked them with a razor blade. I was using the included punchdown tool … maybe an expensive punchdown tool would do a better job.

Just as expected
My phone wiring was a jumbled mess. I ordered this to make the chaos go away. I didn’t use the plastic punch down tool that came with the module, instead used a pro quality punch down tool. Shipping was right on time, and product quality was good. It works as advertised and is a big step up in wire management from the wierd cheapness that phone companies and home builders resort to. If your building a new home insist that your builder run all phone, internet and coax into a distribution center, LABEL THE FREAKING WIRES and provide some indication of where the labeled wires go in the house.

perfect for a 3 line, 6 handset install
Was able to remove the black mounting pins and use wood screws to mount block to board very easily. Punched down 7 CAT5e lines with no issues – do be careful of the two slots on the ends as they appear less sturdy (white/blue & brown). I will certainly order this part again!

After looking around, this one had the best price. It worked great and now when I hard wire my PC, I no longer need to sting a cord across my house.

Does the job
Pros: It lets you connect up to 8 wires from up to 10 locations. I haven’t used all 10 jacks yet, but the connection from the top to the bottom is sound so I assume all the ones in-between will work fine as well.Cons: Punch-down tool that’s included is fairly worthless, as there’s no blade to trim excess wire) There isn’t much space to fit the cables at each punch-down location. It’s workable, but I had to alternate with half the cables coming in from one side and half from the other side.

Use RJ45 to distribute telephone!
No idea why anyone even makes a telephone distribution product that doesn’t use RJ45 (8 pin connector, just like your network cables).Personally I ran several cat5e to every room, homerun back to a single location with a big patch panel. Now all I have to do is use a cheap $1, 2 foot patch cord to connect the patch panel to either this telephone distribution board (if I want that jack to be a telephone line), or my network switch (if I want it to be a network jack).Since this is all RJ45, its easy to do that. And on the room side, a 4 pin telephone RJ11 connector fits cleanly into the middle of an RJ45, so its a win-win.

Quality solution.
While this is made for a structured wiring panel, I’ve been using this without it. I remove the two push pins and use screws to mount the unit to where it is needed. I use this for my customers, my friends and family too. It is good for 4 incoming phone lines and can be daisy chained to add more phone extensions. It can also be used to connect the power wires to wired smoked detectors to an alarm panel, for example.

Excellent way to organize multiple phone lines.
Just the right thing to organize my parents’ wire nest. They had 17 outgoing lines and 1 incoming all connected together with 12 gauge wire nuts. This item (2, actually) made the wires much more manageable. We had tried a 66 block first, but were not successful. I don’t much like the 66 design, so this 110 block was great. It helped that I had the punch-down tool already, but the included tool would have done just fine.

Solid phone block
Works well for bridged phone setup. This is slightly wider than a 1U rack mount space. I put it in a 19″ home rack by purchasing a 1U blank plate and drilling mounting holes for the included mounting plugs, then mounting the blank panel with a gap above and below. Depending on what you have on either side you could mount it without the gap but I wanted a little room to work.

Excellent for managing incoming telco lines
I was performing a condo remodel which had two incoming phone lines from two different services (one traditional copper, one from a cable provider). 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.

Adequate for most households and easier than a full-blown punchdown block
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.

Note the 568A pinout
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

Great connection expander.
Used this product to replace my parents rats nest of splicing lines together. The product is designed to fit into their media box, but not easily used by itself. Had to find a nail that was thin enough to fit through the holes to secure to the wall. Beyond that, the product was easy once hung to connect to and splice the main line into 6 connections. I didn’t want to try messing with the connection bridge at the top, so I plugged the main into one of the 7 slots.

Pricey, but saves lots of time
Product worked well for rewiring the phone/internet in my house. Included a simple punch down tool, and made the central hookup simple. I used CAT5e wire, and it eliminated all the crackling on my phone lines, plus I got a little more speed on my ADLS2 internet line. I did not mount it in a box, just screwed it to a wall . Made it all very neat.

Decent product with a couple of exceptions.
This product works, but the design could be better. Here are two things that I had issues with:1) I was hoping that I could bring my bundle of cables down through the center and then fan them out to each side like you would a 66 block. There is no opening on the top or bottom so you can’t do this. It makes dressing the cables neatly more difficult.2) This block is wired TIE/EIA 568 A, not B. This in itself isn’t an issue, but nowhere in the documentation does it state what pin out it uses. I had to take time to punch a cable down, terminate the other end, and then wire map the cable to know what the pin out was. I’m glad I did this, though, since I assumed it was 568-B. Just more time and trouble when they could have just written this in the documentation.I still rated the product 4 stars because it works and it does have nice small form factor.

Use the push tool provided
This worked great to better organize the “spaghetti” arrangement of an older installation. I used multi-stranded wire which worked okay. My thought is that a solid wire is better suited for the connectors which, I presume bite into the wire a little bit.

This bridge is the best way to setup a phone system for your house. Just have the main line in punched in at the top and punch in each room below. Simple as can be and very high quality. Much better than standard telephone punch down blocks.

Simple, modern, functional punch block done right.
Very simple update to the punch block concept for small number of lines. Easy to work with. Made for 4-pair wiring, but easily adapted to 2-pair as a 66-block replacement. Little punch tool it comes with works fine. Seems solid and was easy to mount to existing board rather than a Leviton enclosure. Great for replacing the common bundle of wires bundled in wire nuts.

I have a home with telephone Jack’s in the house and decided to convert it to Ethernet since nobody uses the phone lines. Luckily for me cat5e was installed from the builders and this was what I needed to get job done. This kit uses 568A wiring on the punch down. I prefer 568B so make sure to swap the orange and green if you want 568B

I use Voice over IP (VoIP) for home tel service. Replaced an old 66 block with this one. Worked well. If you don’t need 4 tel lines, you can jumper rows 3 and 4 over to rows 1 and 2 and get up to 18 places to terminate.

Works Well
Ok this works well mounts well and does the job right. I take away two stars because the instructions are truly lacking for how to connect your module from a cable modem which is fast becoming the most popular way to get phone into your home. You will need to connect the module using Cat5 or Cat6 cable to the input block and then a RJ11 phone jack on the other end. You will connect the phone cable from the modem into the phone jack and Voila away you go. I got this information from the companies support number, I just feel that’s a pretty big step to leave out of the instructions.

Replaced an older pne of the same model
I have two of these. One in my garage and another in the attic to distribute 3 phone lines to 8 rooms in my house. The only issue I’ve had is that using a commercial punch tool I’ve found that the plastic is easily bent or distorted making the reuse of slots impossible. Once the wires are punched down things are fine but you take a chance if you try to reuse the slots again. I’ve also found that punching down two wires in the same slot at the same time can be intermittent. If you have to reuse a slot I suggest making sure that any old pieces of wires still in the slot are removed.

Phone/Data punchdown uses T568A
I know it shouldn’t matter, but I installed data jacks as 568B before reading the Leviton instructions requiring A. There is no color punchdown code stickers on the panels as is sometimes found on other products. I chose to rewire the jacks to A. My bad as my quick reading missed this. Panel fit well into a structured media enclosure and now I have cable modem, cable splitter, and Telcom lines in one box.

Great for old 2 pair phone wire!!
I purchased this punch down board to clean up some old phone wiring in my circa 1983 house. Last year when I upgraded to FIOS I wanted Verizon to remove my old phone interface box outside the house and replace with the new Fiber ONT. In doing so I was left with 4 cables going from under the house to the old interface box outside.To make the installation cleaner and easier for the FIOS tech I ran one Cat5 cable outside the house to this Leviton board mounted under the house. I punched down the remaining old 2 pair phone wires to this block and ran another wire to an outlet in the house while I was at it.This really cleaned up my old phone wires and now I have another 110C-4 punch down terminal for another cable later on and it has a built in jack for expansion or connecting a phone to troubleshoot.I wish I would have bought this years ago. A little pricey but worth it and mine said “Made in the U.S.A.”

Happy that it gets to “the Barn”. Easy to install.
Thinking I’m “smarter than the average guy”, I decided to do my own phone wiring.This module fits into the Levitron media cabinet easily and all the connections I’ve made to it worked “the first time”.Any phone problems (via the cable company) have always been something other than because of this module.My only problem is that there is only one empty slot and I’m worried about moving the cable company’s eMTAto the media box.FWIW, all the wireless phone systems available now kind of obsolete this system. Except for the fact that I have to extend my phone from the “house” to the “bar” over ~200ft of buried phone cable. All of these different types of cables (cat5, cat6 …) are a pain. (think about extending HDMI over cat6) You never have enough cables going where you want them too. While wireless networks are great, they have their limitations.

Easy to install and eliminates need 66 block
Easy to install and wire without the need for a 66 block. I’m using Xfinity voice 4 line IP phone service and use this to connect to 4 physical phones with room for 2 more. I’m a network/PC guy without 66 block experience but found this product in a search for 66 block how to guides. This product saved me time and was easy to figure out and install was a snap. I just attached to our board in the network closet, crimped 4 RJ11s to one end of a cat5e cable then punched other end to the right connector on the board. Then punched a cable to each line and terminated at each phone.

This Does the Job
Smaller version of the punch down panels used on larger phone systems. Would have been nice to have the option of a cover or a more flexible mounting system but it does the job much better than other consumer grade telephone junction boxes I have used. Mine did come with a small plastic punch down tool that apparently the seller does not know about. Would have saved my buying a tool that I will likely never use again.

Versatile simplicity
It’s not clear from the weak description but this board is set about 30cm high from the surface and the base gives it full perimeter support. It also can be removed and mounted lower if you do something to insulate the back side. Note that if you are competent to wire a punch down block you do NOT need to get a board with RJxx sockets on it. You can also isolate sets of punch down strips on this board with a simple slash of a knife across traces. It has two push mounting pins on the base.

Worked great with Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable, but not 22/4 phone cable
This worked great as the hub for all the Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables used for the telephones in my house, but 22/4 telephone cable seemed to be too big to fit inside the “110 style) punchdown blocks. I eventually forced the wires down, but it took a lot of effort and I’m concerned that it might cause reliability problems later on.
