Is wiring ADSL and Phone lines to a patch panel ok?

Question

Is it OK to wire an POTS line + ADSL line directly into a patch panel?

I guess I'm wondering as well why do regular phone jacks have some passive electronic parts inside them. Since wiring it straight onto a patch panel would not have those passives.

Yet I have seen this done before.

I've done this myself at home. It's a great way of getting a POTS line somewhere else.

I've never seen a phone jack with any passive parts inside them - only an RJ11 connector.
