It depends on your house cable. If the house cable is on blocks, terminate
the AMP connectors from the KSU on blocks and run jumpers. If the house
cable is on patch cables, I would still terminate the Panasonic on blocks,
but set up a corresponding patch field of 4 wire jacks to feed the house
cable patch field. Use 110 blocks in this case, because you are gonna end
up using 4 rows of block for 48 ports of patch jacks. Now, if you need a
digital connection WITH XDP, you run a 2 pair jumper to the jack, or just a
1 pair (try to use the orange-white) for a digital or a 1 pair (blue-white)
for an analog port.
