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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have not yet purchased from them, but a colleague mentioned them to me. Apparently, he has been very pleased with their products. -John | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
