Running out of patch panel space

[Robert Chasmer <robert.chasmer@xxxxxxx>]

Well its finally happened to me.  I bought a 32 way patch pannel thinking
that would be easily enough, and I need more space.  Due to its location
(in
the broom cubboard), and the custom blocks of wood/hinge assembly I built
its not so easy to just bay another pannel and fit it.

Currently I've got sockets 24-32 all wired together connected to the
BT master socket.  This is so that I can easily batch other sockets as
phone
lines.  My current plan is to free these all up for normal sockets and
build/buy some sort of multiway adapter socket for the phone patches.

My first thought was to make a small patch pannel using Clipsal stuff:-
1 x 'Clipsal 6 Socket Switchplate, 2 Gang'
6 x 'Clipsal CAT5 Socket'
However this works out on letsautomate.com to cost 54ukp, which is about
the same price I paid for my 32 way patch pannel.

My next though was the B&Q 'Network Patch Panel 12 Port With Bracket'
At 30ukp, I'm not sure if this includes the Cat5 Keystone Jacks, at 2.50ukp
each?

Does anyone no of a cheapway of building/buy, a small patch pannel
for this kind of thing?

Thanks


Rob
