Does anyone know where I can get Vertical standard spliiters to be used in patch panels? Regular Splitters block the ports to the right/left.

why are you using a splitter on a patch panel ?

what are you splitting ?

one could always make them up with a short piece of cable with a plug crimped on plugged into the patch panel going out to a couple of keystone jacks
 
Wire up some spare ports on the Patch Panel itself. Patch the horizontal side to one port, and have two ports do the split-outs.

 
If you are using a patch panel for voice, which it seems that you are. You should know how many pair you need to activate the voice devices. Terminate that many pair on each port. That should eliminate the need for splitters.
Another option is to terminate cables to a 66 block, then terminate the patch panel to a 66 block. You can use amphenol fed patch panels as well, and term the cable to an amphenol fed 66 block. Changes can then be made as needed using cross connect at the 66 blocks. This is more time consuming, expensive, and flexible.


You do not always get what you pay for, but you never get what you do not pay for.
 
Ttech-

thanks fo rthe link. I spent several years trying to find such a vertical splitter to allow powering two ISND phones off a Lucent Power Supply.

The power supply had an Ap note that we examined that showed a "modular splitter". Once we got the power supplies (for resale with equipment we manufacture) we discovered that only these weird vertical splitters. Of course Lucent (who probably makes one as I have seen RJ-11 and RJ-45 power injectors that use this vertical format) was of no help at all.

Finally we went to a T adaptor from L-com:


Originally this was a custom they did for us, but they have since added it to their catalog.

Good people at L-com.
