RE: Re: Patch panel for co-ax?

["Nigel Giddings" <nigel.giddings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Umar,

Sorry but the reason I picked them up was because they are end of range.
Drilling blank 19" panels would probably be the best way forward, as
already said the panels need to be quite strong to support the weight
and tension on the cables.

Hi Nigel

Do you have the product code for the Maplins Unit?

Thanks also to David & Graham - do you have pics by any chance?
