Afternoon all,

Just had a few people interested in my new Ethernet wiring and i thought i would share what I’m doing and where its all from etc.

Things i have already;

  • 4RU data cabinet (got this for$40 from an auction out at waikerie)
  • patch panel (included with above)
  • 16 port switch (included with above)
  • Ethernet cables (mainly for patching)
  • lots of pcs.

Things i bought from ebay and other dealers:

  • 4x Cat6 couplers Female to female ($4.90 each {same guy as below})
  • 2x quad wall plates +4x couplers (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120392607429)  $21.80 each + $17 registered shipping with above extra couplers.
  • 8 long Cat6 Ethernet cables.$13-18 each

Anyway lets get straight to business.

You get your wall plate (i have a 4 port) and its like Lego just clicks together.

Yes its awesome i know. I can now buy pre made cables and just plug them in and go.
