Hi!

I'm being VERY thick this morning.  I also want to find some way of
distributing my phones.  If i use a cat5 patch panel do I just wire
the two correct wires into all the sockets (equalling ona 16port
panel 1 in 15 out) then plug an rj45 > bt secondary socket into an
available port in a room and place a patch lead between the two
panels?

I'm VERY confused!  Any chance you could link some pics or a graphic
explaination!

What is the benefit of the Krone system?  Surely having everything
runnig through cat5 is easier and more sutiable for changes?  i.e i
have 2 ports in a room 1 data 1 tel. i need two data so i unplug the
tel and re-route the cable to the hub?

Regards,

Matt
