It’s 4hp and has 7 patch cable sockets and 8 pins on the back. One for each of the 7, plus a pin for connecting a ground that is sent to each of the sockets. We found it useful in working on Time Machine but this is also a handy tool for bringing any expander pins to the front of your system.
On one side of the faceplate the sockets are number 1 through 7. On the other it has labels specific to Time Machine. Meep morp

Questions
How big is the Passive expander PCB?
It measures 19.8 × 100.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Passive expander use?
8 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Passive expander KiCad files?
From the oamodular/passive-expander repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Passive Expander - Main Board/Passive Expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic Passive Expander - Main Board/Passive Expander.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Passive expander design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
