rhyds Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Silly question: Where can I buy Cat5/5e sockets for a network patch panel? The current one's a panduit IIRC, but I can't find somewhere that stocks the sockets.

plexer Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Otherwise however installed them? Any model number on them? are they quick connect ones? How many do you need? Ben
plexer Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 erm comms-express don't apear to sell any panduit stuff. My installers use panduit so if it's only a couple or something I can speak to one of the engineers. Ben
rhyds Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Plexer: No model numbers, but they appear to be the non-punchdown ones. Thanks for the offer, I only need 2-3 sockets but the teacher concerned has decreed that the machines destined for these sockets are badly needed (and for once he's right), so I might just plug them directly in to the switch for now and investigate which ones it takes.
plexer Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Ok well I'll try an get you 3 panduit jacks and then you can see if they are the right ones. Ben

Individual panduit pp jacks for cat5 and cat6 range are available from minitran, you can order them in individual quantities at 2-3 pound each........ Practically all panduit jacks for modular panels are of a tool-less variety. I must have atleast three different tools for terminating to the different panduit jacks http://www.minitran.co.uk/pages/products/list.mhtml?ct=1&sc=4&list_cat=1
plexer Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Just spoken to one of my cablers and he's going to drop some off to me tomorrow with the termination tool as well. PM me your address please. Ben
