RE: Re: CAT5 patch panels / CAT5 terminating

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to do this as well - moving Node0 up into the new loft
conversion.

I'd like to remove as much as possible from the existing node0 though and
the patch panel or new connection box has to be as small as possible (and
not too expensive!).

Any recommendations that may be suitable for Chris's situation too?

Paul.
