RE: Wiring up a patch panel

[Keith Doxey]

Definately looks loke a custom tooling job.

Where did yo uget the patch panel ?

Is it an e-bay special? , if so, the seller probably put it there because
of
the problems you are experiencing.

Best bet might be to sell it on e-bay and get a conventional panel that
takes a normal Krone punchdown tool.
