What I've done in a previous life was to make a coax patch panel by
drilling a bunch of holes in a 1u blanking plate, and using F type
couplers (eg RS 483-051). Each coax I terminated in a F plug, then
attached them all to the patch panel at the back, screwed into rack,
job jone.
You connect up using CT100 patch cables with a F type on one end,
and a F type or coax on the other. If you need to go to BNC for
CCTV, then CPC do a cute and cheap F type to BNC cable that is much
prettier than any you can do yourself.
There are several sorts of blanking panel. For this application the
cheap and nasty steel ones are better than the posh aluminium ones,
as they have more strength due to the steel being bent top and
bottom.
