you want the honest truth....i f*cking hate panduit jacks. which is what slides into these panels...it was a customer requirement.

ill post pics of the jacks themselves tommorow. you have to lace the cable into this little red divider then push them onto the jack....except that you cant exactly trim the cables flush without a razor knife...I usually use electricians scissors and it just makes them a PITA without the special tools for the jacks. If you want a regular patch panel...siemon makes my favorite guaranteed for life...which is nice. If you need modular Id look into ortronics.
 
those siemon panels are very similar to what i prefer to use..ill post a pic of the one i have in my rack at home as soon as i get the rack organized (doing it for a school report.)

as promised pics of the networky stuff...and a pic of the jacks too (trust me they suck to assemble...but they would never come apart on their own and they force you to keep twist integrity.

network rack.

panduit jacks - sorry for the lighting the store was under heavy construction and power was in and out for the lighting. we did that whole network in 2 days, cable drops rack and everything.
