I needed to organize the phone wiring in my house. This did the trick. Heavy metal housing and good fit and finish.

Bank 1 didn't work. I double checked the wiring at the hub and output jack and it was correct. The wiring worked before installing the hub, and I verified there was no break in the wires.I re-punched new sections of the the wires and it still didn't work. Banks 2, 3, and 4 were working and POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) wiring passed checks with a Klein Scout Pro 3 tester. I finally removed the wires from bank 1and punched them to another bank the that jack worked.The instructions were a little light. When wiring telephone service, I guess they mean for line 1 R (Ring) and T (Tip) to be used. I didn't figure that out until I punched the red wire above the Red marking and the Green wire above the Green marking, Yellow - Yellow, and Black to Blue.

Pretty solid product. Used it to clean up a mess of 9 phone extensions in my house - a mess left from successive Verizon and spectrum cable installers. Pulled them inside and got it all neatened up. Since I am never going to have 2, let alone 4, telco phone lines, I just jumped the first two pairs to the second two pairs and made a 12 line block from this 6 line block. Works well from what I have experienced this far.

Purchased this and the push-in tool. Try as would (and I tried A LOT), I couldn't get this to reliably connect phone lines together. The teeth just didn't penetrate the wire insulation as promised. Ended up putting RJ-11 ends on the phone lines and plugging them into a multiplex (URBEST Beige RJ11 6P4C Male Plug to 5 Ports 6P4C Female Socket Phone Line Splitter Adapter). Clean neat and easy to work with. And a far cheaper option.

I switched my mom over to VOIP service and this telephone hub was just the item needed to use as a distribution block. No structured media cabinet is necessary to use this, just remove the black push pins (use vise grips to rip out the pin portion from the top and then flip over and squeeze out the remaining 'leg' portion) and then fasten with regular wood screws.I picked this over the comparable Leviton offering () as it was both cheaper and its enclosure is much more durable. The Leviton just uses a plastic bracket; the Steren hub has a full metal enclosure on all sides.As others have mentioned, this hub is not meant for older telephone wiring that has a thicker gauge. Use category 3 cable and above and you won't have any problems using a punch-down tool to wire this hub up. I made do with a small plastic one that came bundled with a keystone jack from long ago and it worked out fine.

This telephone hub was a little overkill for what I really needed but I wanted to future proof this as much as possible. My old hub was outside and kept getting damaged when performing lawn maintenance and the lines would get noisy every time it rained so, I mounted this hub in a cabinet inside the house and ran the wires into the house from the crawlspace. By the way get a 110 impact punchdown tool, it makes the job so much easier and you'll have less chance of damage.Initially I had some trouble but I found that it was because of the way old wiring (40+ years) was connected and it's condition. Because of this, I replaced all the old wiring with new 5e wire and all is well, nice quiet lines and no more chance of damage.I contacted the Circuit Direct (the seller) through Amazon email and they replied almost immediately and gave me ideas how to work out the problems I was having. They have awesome customer service.The only criticism I would have is the manual could use some work.

Installed this as a wall-mounted module in the wiring closet of a customer's new home. Seems to work fine, no issues mounting after replacing the plastic pinch-pins with screws. Oddly enough, the ISP provider in that area (DSL, unfortunately) didn't use the filter module for their modem, instead pulling off the first pair and snap-crimping the wires. After calling them on that raising some hell, they came back and punched it down correctly......except they got the pairs backward.I ended up having to re-punch the whole thing on the second line because their installer literally destroyed the first-line 110 punch-down connectors. It looks like he used a screwdriver to punch it down...None of that is the fault of the unit, though, so why four and not five? Simple: documentation. What there is of it assumes you are a teleco installer (I happen to be an IT technician, but one who has experience with phone lines and teleco work) and most of it is simply specs for other products they offer. Nice, but not what you should be filling the already-painfully-sparse installation guide with. Still, I would use this unit again if the need arose.

Solidly made and so easy to wire the lines, no stripping required. . A punch down tool is necessary but all the wiring seems to be going this way anyway so would probably used again. This hub has room for 6 lines, the yellow taped spot is for security lines and the spot below is for attaching additional hubs.

Great product. Easy to punch down and then tie into your patch panel. The instructions were very clear. Just make sure you jot down the configuration of your incoming wiring from the telephone company BEFORE you undo any existing wiring so that you don't forget!Also, if you have DSL connection and a voice phone line consider pairing this with a whole-house DSL filter like the Leviton 47616-DSB DSL Filter Board with Bracket(http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-47616-DSB-Filter-Module-White/dp/B000U39V4I). That way you can avoid using DSL filter dongles throughout the rest of the house/office.
