I need to know the designation/name of the following RJ21X- type punch down block: The right side front is T-R pairs punched in left-right, groups four pairs down, and each four pair group is hardwired to a 568B port. There's 12 of those down the left side of the block, so that's 48 pairs (twelve CAT 5s)it accommodates. I picked up one from a disconnected AT&T system, I think, and kept it until the other day when I found a good use for it. But now I realize how handy the design is, but I need to know what to order--or where. Does anyone recognize this?

Certainly recgonize what you are referencing, but haven't seen them in over 10 years. A 12 port patch panel in 66-block format would do the same, just not as convienient as you can't punch it from the front.
seimans has them
seimans also has a kit thats let you make your own

I believe the correct spelling is: SIEMON Company, and their product part number, S66M2-5T-128LR, looks like what you are describing. See it on page 11.5 in the 2005 catalogue. You might also find it on their website:

being an Avaya tech also, it appears to be a 66 block that was connected to a particular card that wasnt a straight 24 pair card......i would say it was a 4 wire digital card and it most likely was a 16 port card

Skip--The Hubbell piece is the one. Thanks. I didn't know they were CAT 3, though. Thankfully, the app in this case was a set of Merlin drops. The CAT 5E 12 port blocks I suppose are preferable, but since they're 110 wiring from the back, it's not quite as convenient to use, as TTT says.
if you want CAT5e
check out this "12 port patch box" by allentel , wiring is from the front . I use them when I'm doing less then 12 but know I may be back to add
