Does anyone have recommendations on rack-mount patch panels (CAT6, 24-port)? I'm looking for any particular manufacturer that has reasonable price / quality and - hopefully - also provides an 8-pair single punch tool (like the one mentioned here for Hubbell). Both ICC and Hubbell seem to provide the tool, but their patch panels are $90 for ICC and $150+ for Hubbell - compared to around $30 for "Amazon" brands like Trendnet / CableMatters. Is there really a difference?
Also, what's the best technique for orienting the punch panel when doing the punches? Usually I work from wall-mounted enclosures, so direct back-access isn't possible. I install the panel upside down (with punch block facing out), perform the punches and then rotate. It puts some strain on the cables though... Any other methods?
Thanks.
