Greetings, everyone,

I'm looking for advice on a decent patch panel for a Cat5e UTP installation in my home. I ned only 24 ports, and in looking around, I've come across a number of choices. I plan on using the system to primarily distribute internet and phone, though I hope to use it to distribute audio/video sometime in the future via baluns.

I've used networkcablingservices.co.uk in the past for other items, and have been pleased with the result, and see that they carry several relatively inexpensive patch panels by Excel and Mini5. Does anyone have any experiences with these? Are there any benefits in purchasing someting more expensive. I only want to do all this once, and while cost is certainly an option, I'm willing to pay for quality. Any advice would in this area would be much appreciated!

-Joe

TLC Direct sell reasonably priced ones, be warned the one in the post above isn't meant for a 19" rack if that was part of your plans
