www.icc.com They are in Cerritos. I met one of their Regional managers at the show. I was admiring a 4 way plate they had (not keystone) with phone ethernet and 2 coaxes. It looked very easy to punchdown. They guy I met (Larry) was super nice and gave me a sample. Nice stuff!
ADI has it.

For the RCA to F, it's not a big deal to remove a leviton F connector from an insert and swap it for a Niles or other F to RCA.

Just take a pair of pliers and squeeze the ring on the back a couple of times and it will break free. Replace with connector of choice.

ICC makes a blank key with a hole in the center for wire feed thru. You drill them larger and put in your own F, RCA or speaker binding post. Part #IC107BN2**(**=color). Cuts your cost by 2/3.

Are you certain? Most of the "keystone" jacks
I've seen look significantly larger than Leviton's
quickport stuff ... granted, I've never actually
tried to stick a standard keystone jack in a Levition
decora quickport frame; they seem so much larger
that I'd always just assumed they were different.

Is it possible the OnQ/Legrand stuff is not the
standard "keystone" form-factor, and made to be
Leviton-compatible?

Not only certain, but we do it all the time. The OnQ stuff is a litte large (especially the F connectors), but they do work in Leviton plates and Leviton jacks do work in OnQ plates.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

We always use Leviton stuff and never had a rpoblem with the size. We usually use the decora insert portion and get screwless faceplates from other vendors.

The problem I have with those is there is no phone keystone. I know I can use the cat5 key but I have visions of a client plugging his $2000 portable PC into a phone jack and blowing his network card.

The Keystone format does have phone jacks.  You need to search for USOC Keystone Jacks.  There are several different manufacturers that make these.  I used to work for the phone company years ago and the USOC terminology goes back to Ma Bell.  I don't remember exactly what it stands for but if you search for that term you will see tons of Cat 3 or USOC telecom 6-pin phone jack plugins for Keystone format.

I hope this helps.

I'm curious -- how did you find this 17 year old thread?
I've been looking for some things before and couldn't find them in thousands of posts

Mario,
I think Daniel has the site really well optimized for internet searches. I've gotten some google search responses that are pretty old remotecentral threads. Heck, maybe google's search engine can find things in the remotecentral servers better than the remotecentral search engine. The search engine here is part of the forum etc software, it's not google.

Dear first day member gethialday,
Please note the date of the previous post before answering. As I've just explained, you can run into some pretty old threads by searching for stuff, but that doesn't mean that your suggestion will be of any use to anyone. (And sometimes members here put in further responses and then get irritated that they've joined an antique discussion.)

Indeed, the guy could be out of business after all this time, but hey, Mario: I went to netarc's profile and searched for recent posts. He posted several times this Valentine's Day.

gethialday,
Welcome to the site!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
