I agree that patch panel should not be used for voice but we have done it on occasion when our hands are tied.
Below are some pic's of one that come's to mind. This particular location has about 1200 wires, 600 of which we installed after our customer moved to the building. The existing was all wired with at least 2 cat-6 to each location. The customer want to continue the trend to all the new cubes that they installed.

This is the racks with all patch cords installed.


This is the back of the center rack. It has a 600 pair cable terminated with one pair per port patch panel port.

This is what you end up with if you need to add a modem line to where there is an existing digital line.

It seems that every time I stop by this site I fix a few patch cords that are not in the wire management that was installed "temporary".
