I was just on Staples web site (they sell X-16).
I noticed they sell a connector for the ports allowing 4 sets on 1 port without connection to blocks. It is also inexpensive. Anyone use 1 of these?

I've seen them but never bought one, I prefer to use a block and keep things in order, I would think you could make the same thing they sell for about half the price after all it's just a 4port jack looped together inside.

I just installed one for a customer who bought his there. I told him to keep the adapter and I just put plugs on the end of a piece of four pair cable. I then looped each pair four times down the side of a 66 block and cross-connected to the station cables. Certainly much more professional.

They've had the 5 port adapter around for years for a lot less than that. I wouldn't use either as has been mentioned above. It's part of the "self install" pitch, just like when the original merlins first came out. You can install it your self if you don't mind tripping over the long cords you have to use.

THIS is what my customer received in his package as the "splitter". No quality whatsoever, so I almost pitched it in the trash.

I looked at those once at the $ Store for $1.00. Can't use them though....not compatible with BIX quality.
