NO !!!

Dont fit a jack to the faceplate. You will have to have a cable to the jack
and it will ONLY be useable for that purpose. By all means feed power from
a
remote power supply, but use CAT5 cable and RJ45.

At "Node 0" you can wire some wall warts to some spare ports on a
patch
panel and patch the power to whichever socket you wish. At the distant end
you get a CAT5 patch cord and cut it in half, fit a suitable 2.1mm DC power
plug to the cut end and plug the two CAT5 cables into the KAT5 module.

Hmm, I take your point.

I suppose I don't have a huge problem with an 'external' KAT5 box,
but I do presumably need to provide it with a 12v supply? Rather
than have separate transformers, I can present 12v at the wallplate
via jack plugs or similar, and make up a short lead to take that to
the KAT5 module. I know this results in a dedicated wallplate, but
as you say I would have had that anyway with a SCART socket on my
previous scheme.

Regards

Andrew
