RE: Looking for Patchpanel

["Mike Griffiths" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Slightly confused here Paul



Why put the Zones through a Patch panel

Not the type of thing you need to change very often

If you are trying to tidy the wiring just use Krone blocks

Hint

You can also use the earth/common blocks for  12v 0v KB KA as well

Subject: [ukha_d] Looking for Patchpanel



Hoping someone can recommend a CAT5 patchpanel... - This is for my
Comfort zone connections... - I'm looking for either a 32port 2U model
(I have found a couple of suitable candidates of these), or, - and
perhaps preferably, a 48-port 2U panel, - but with the ports grouped in
blocks of 8 - all the ones I've seen so far have them grouped in blocks
of 6... - there are *loads* to choose from blocked in 6, but thus far I
haven't found a single one grouped in blocks of 8... - I'd prefer blocks
of 8 purely for aesthetic purposes, since all the Comfort connections
are grouped in 8's (16 input zones, 16 output zones, up to 8 keypads,
etc...) - so it would be a good fit to the comfort cabling scheme to
have logical blocks of 8 ports...  -  makes identifying areas simpler in
my mind...



My other option is to use a 32-port panel, - top row of 16 for inputs,
bottom row of 16 for outputs, and then not put the
keypads/doorstations/UCM's etc via this panel. But wire those straight
to the comfort board instead... - Given that keypads & doorstations
require shielded cable, this might be a good idea anyway....



However, given that 48-port panels are no more expensive, (and very
often cheaper) than a 32-port, it seems a bit mad to just get a 32....



I've looked in all the usual online suppliers...



Cheers.



Paul G.
