Patch panel accessibility

[David Paterson <david.paterson@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm almost ready to start putting in my Cat5 bits and bobs, but
I'm wondering where I should put the patch panel.  I can either put
it
in the loft, next to Node 0, or I could make space in the hall cupboard
for easier access.

What I'm interested in is where other people have put their patch bays,
or more specifically, how often they have to "re-patch" the
connections.

Initially it's only going to be phone distribution and computer
networking, but eventually I'll be adding video and audio, IR, in fact
the whole Kat5 caboodle :-)

My current thoughts are that, after a settling in period working out
the
best places for things, there probably won't be very many changes (so I
could happily put it in the loft) but I'd be interested to here about
other people's experiences to make sure I'm doing it the sensible way.

Thanks,

David P.
