Amazon doesn't have it either. My colleague ended up getting Panduit branded 110 blocks and they worked out good. You probably couldn't find anything made by "Siemons" because there is no such brand. It is either 'Siemon', the manufacturer of structured wiring hardware, or 'Siemens', the manufacturer of systems. There are way too many people in this industry who use the two interchangeably. They are two completely different entities offering completely different products! Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX

I did search for Siemon brand (using the part numbers from their website) and couldn't find anyone with it in stock locally, Graybar, or Amazon. Panduit 110 block seemed to work fine though.

I had one job where I had to extend 40 cables and we bundled up the couplers and placed them in the ceiling, neatly. https://www.amazon.com/InstallerPar...26859799&sr=8-13&keywords=cat+5e+coupler https://www.amazon.com/InstallerPar...8-11-spons&keywords=cat+5e+coupler&psc=1 Last edited by Derrick; 05/20/18 07:47 PM. www.myrandomviews "Old phone guys never die, they just get locked in some closet with an old phone system and forgotten about" Retired, taking photographs and hoping to fly one of my many kites.
