Keystone Patch Panel or Punch Down Patch Panel for VoIP?

I'd use a keystone panel.

Which keystone panel were you thinking of?  The keystone panels I've worked with allow for individual cables to be added/moved/removed with minimum disruption so they're usually easier to work with than standard panels.

The jacks don't act as couplers in a keystone system - they are individual jacks which terminate exactly like the ones in the standard panel.  The only difference is that they're not fixed to the panel on a PCB.

Also, use solid-core Cat5E instead of stranded.  It will perform better, but also solid-core is far more solid when punched-down.  Stranded Cat5E tends to be a bit looser.

I was thinking of a blank keystone panel, unless you know of a better one. I can always go punchdown panel, but was looking for an easier and quicker solution- hence the keystone

There are plenty of blank keystone panels.

Excel, Nexans, Connectix, Brand-Rex, Krone... they all make blank panels.  You just have to choose one to suit your installation, and choose jacks which fit.

I think these are the type of thing you meant in the OP, which do contain couplers, but they aren't keystone panels...?

Yes, those were the ones I was referring to. Any you'd recommend?

The Excel ones are perfectly adequate.  Personally I wouldn't use one in a business-type environment though if you're using VoIP and Gigabit applications, but for 100Mbps applications they'd be fine.

So for VoIP the ruling is punch down, correct? Can't go wrong with that one even though its a bit more time consuming...

I truly appreciate your feedback and everyone else' s input. I will go with either keystone or punch down being it is VoIP.
Thank you
