The larger back side of some inserts have trouble fitting the 2-port surface boxes of Leviton. The insert may fit in the hole--but you can't get two in there.
We try to stick with just one brand of insert, plate and surface boxes if at all possible.
Also, if we stick with Leviton empty patch panels, instead of generic empty panels, we don't have to purchase the plastic 4-port adapters.
It's actually taken quite a while to figure some of this stuff out. We have also been told "Oh, these will fit ANY brand" Right. We have boxes of plates and surface boxes in our shop that won't work with Leviton---out vendor just said to "keep 'em--not worth the trouble to send them back". Too bad everything can't be standard--but it isn't.
Are you able to fit 1 AMP connect and 1 Leviton together or is the limitation only when fitting 2 amp connect together?
The site does have leviton right now and all rooms have CAT 5 cable(but not an Ethernet Jack). The cable is just sitting unused in most cases, I don't know what the builder was thinking.
