Please log in for more thread options Just had a guy run my house with Cat5e. I was expecting to get this: http://www.hometech.com/techwire/le-47605c5b.jpg I got this: http://www.hometech.com/techwire/47689b1.jpg Aka - I wanted patch panel, instead they're just punched down to a board. My plan was like this... Cable modem --> router --> down to panel --> switch --> other outlets
So now what? Do I have to rip out the punch board and get a panel in there, or is there some work around that I am totally not thinking of....? -H | ||||||||||||||||

You need to specify to the cable pullers what you want. Cat5 is typically run for either phone or data. He guessed one, you wanted the other. Yes, you'll have to pull all the wire off the telephone bridge module and punch it onto a patch panel module. There's no way to make the bridge telephone board work for data. | ||||||||||||||||

I went over it in my head a billion times to figure out how I could rig it as is-- but I'm just going to break down and have him take the punch off and put in the panel. Or I'm just going to do it myself, since sometimes, that's all you can do... Thanks again, H | ||||||||||||||||

Use a 4 or 6 port wallplate and put keystones in. [You can even go quadbox & a 12 port plate.] This has the advantage of being closed up. I'm using it for a location in a child's closet. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 | ||||||||||||||||

I'm using it for a location in a child's closet. That's basically how Leviton does it. You plug 12 of their standard CAT5 jacks into a black strip of metal that mounts on a standard 66M block frame. | ||||||||||||||||
