Patch panel reccomendation |
|
|
I have a new house which I have about 30 runs of cat5 going to my
termination point (my garage).
I'm looking for recomendations on a patch panel that I can mount to the
wall that won't cost me a fortune.
Thanks!

I would suggest looking on ebay. Lots of variety for a good price.

This is a 12 port PP that I just happen to have the p/n for. They
also come in 24 port models. Screw them to the wall.

I'm also looking for a good brand to "go by".
belkin sucks
tripp lite is OK
on to number three
I'm thinking black box or panduit...anybody have any experience with these
brands? I'm trying to find something a little more "sturdy" than the cheap
plastic ones offered by the above companies i've tried already.

Try finding one of those keystone jack rack plates.
Then mount it vertically.

Another way to go cheap might be www.netcablesplus.com which lists a
24-port Cat 5e patch panel for under fifty bucks. I have not yet
purchased from them, but a colleague mentioned them to me. Apparently,
he has been very pleased with their products.

The Avaya and Systimax patch panels we've been using are about $150 for
24 ports, even more for 48. If you want to go cheap, just buy four
8-port faceplates and put wall jacks in them. But in out case, Systimax
jacks are $5 apiece si ot adds up to about the same price. You could go
with the patch panel for the first 24, then add a 6-port faceplate for
about $30 more. |

Try Panduit.com The company I work for,install these things by the
hundreds, they work very well and can be purchased at most supply houses
for reasonable prices.
My personal preference is the Siemon High density 110 type, universal patch
panels, buy a wall mount bracket to go with and proceed |

With 30 runs, you have many options that you could go with. One would |
be to use a wall mount, swing bracket from AllenTel, then any 48 port
Cat5e patch panel would work. Panduit is my preference, but Leviton,
Hubbell, Siemon, Ortronics all would be ok choices. There are many
cheaper brands that you could find, especially at Cable-R-Us type
places, but the quality I believe leaves much to be desired. And I'm
sure those types are also just barely get past performance specs, so I
wouldn't put too much trust in them.
Anyway, look at the above manufactures websites, and you see many of
your options. Several have panels that will mount directly to the wall
without the swing out rack. |
