Hi all

Going to be networking the new house soon and i want a 24 port 1U patch panel.

now i can get a 24 port Cat6 punchdown panel for about £42.

i could also get a 24 port modular panel, with 24 keystone punchdown modules for £54

The end result would be much the same, but would it be easier punching down with individual modules, then cliping them into the panel? or punching 24 cables into the one patch panel?

cheers guys

So the punchdown panel will be easier than the individual modules clipped into a rack panel?

ok cool, thanks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the minitran mini6 cable and panels? (OCUK dont sell either from what i can see)

Thanks
