If you have a smaller wiring job or just a job where it's not practical to install a standard patch panel rack mount, these are pretty awesome. Anyone can install this, but you need to know how to operate a punch tool, the basics of wiring, and should have some way of testing it when done.
They use a standard 66 block wall mount. You screw the plastic wall mount to the wall and then the patch panel itself snaps in. I love this system because you can unclip the patch panel from wall mount, flip it over, snap it on upside down, and easily punch all your wires--then just flip it back over when done!
Also it passed with flying colors when tested! I bought three of these and punched 20 of the ports. I had a wiring job that everything had to go in a small cabinet that a rack mount system just wouldn't fit. I used Cat6 500mhz wire and cat5e keystones on the other side. Every run passed rated for better than cat6 speed--well after I fixed the one I miss-punched!
I've used this style before. Be careful, some come with with the 66 block mount and some don't. But this Tripp Lite version does and it works great great. I've bought three of the Tripp Lite cat5e in July 2015 and one of the cat6 ones in June of 2014. I've installed a lot of patch panels and have no complaints with Tripp Lite.

Good quality, easy to install and label
This is a great, well priced patch panel. The layout allowed for reasonably easy punch downs, and as a bonus you get free wire management brackets. I normally find little plastic freebie cable managers a pain and throw them out, but these actually worked really well. I installed 7 of these in a new rack build. I mis-punched a few, but it was my fault. I do wish each port was a little more obvious on the back as one set of blocks runs right into the next so if you don't pay attention it's easy to mis-wire - but out of 24 x 7 I probably only missed 4 or 5 and they were easy to correct.

I installed CAT6 cables using the T568B standard. It's extremely important that both ends of a cable have the same configuration or they become a crossover cable. The cable guides are handy to keep the cable in place during/after punching down and are easy to clip on but once in place are very difficult to get off (not that you'll ever need to remove these). I would recommend a punch down tool with a wire cutter as general wire cutters don't result in a clean finish. Also, the bulkier the punch down tool, the more difficult to use with the cable guides in place because some of the cable guides stick out over the connectors and the punch down tool does not line up accurately which then require bending the guide back a little without snapping the plastic. Always give yourself enough conductor length to reach the connectors, starting with the farthest connector and working your way in. After punching down it's best to keep the conductors as close to their connectors as sometimes interfering conductors from other cables can result in crosstalk.
This is a great product for home installs too, and accompanied with a cable organiser, can look very neat and tidy. The colour coded standards on the reverse for each port are helpful and makes installation easy. The connectors are great quality and reliable for PoE devices running around the clock.
I've used this for 4 access points, 4 PoE CCTV camera's, 8 in-wall modules and various local hardware around the house. Setup in a reasonably insulated loft, it's been running for 6 months now, around the clock with no failures, no problems, and 100% uptime across the network.
A recommended buy for any DIY enthusiast as much as a network specialist.
