Re: Re: CAT5 patch panels / CAT5 terminating

["Chris Miles" <chrismiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I already have a patch panel in another location.....

I have lots of cables coming to the loft that are not long enough to
reach a new location so I would like to just terminate them to some
sort of punchdown box where they wil connect with a new feed which
then goes down to my patch panel.

I don't know your reason for not wanting an RJ45 patch panel but I
can't think of a better solution. Patch panels are cheap (CPC do good
ones), they are reliable and flexible. You may well want to connect
other devices to your network (Wifi in loft, secure storage out of the
way of thieves, cameras in the eves - I've seen all these). A patch
panel makes future changes easy.
