Hi all!

Well, I just bought my first house and wanted to wire it up for networking/cable.

i was looking at Home Depot at the Leviton panels they have there and was thinking of getting one to run my phone/dsl filter/networking stuff.

Leviton

Does anyone around here have one and have some thoughts/suggestions on these or other products?

Also, HD seems to be about the cheapest place to get these, believe it or not. Anyone found a better place/product?

 
Looks very interesting...thanks for finding this. I think I'll be ordering this when I do our addition next year.
 
When our house was remodelled, I had a guy run Cat6 and coax to every room. They all terminate at a patch panel similar to this one.

Here's a thought before you get started:
Is 6 lines going to be enough? We have a small house and we have 11 ports (phone, data, cable-tv) in total. Of course, we went pretty nuts (2 in each bedroom, 2 in the living room, 1 in the kitchen) If you want room to expand, you can do a custom install where you just nail a piece of plywood to the wall and install rack-mount hardware (ethernet switch, phone terminal, coax ports) on it. This is what I have and I'm very pleased with it.

 
I have used these on several occasions. If you have custom stuffs you need to put in there I suggest the 24x36(iirc) which comes with a plywood backing for screwing your stuff down. You can get the larger panel with plywood cheaper than you can get the panels with the pre punched holes in the back. Use what you will. 🙂 Also, Home Depot and Graybar are close to each other price wise. So if you have a local Graybar, head on down and shop it. 🙂
 
Slaughter,

Thanks for the reply - which panels are you referring to? Leviton panels or some other company? Also, as I have 3/4", 1/2", and 1/4" plywood coming out my ears - is that really the only advantage to getting these others panels, or the 'custom stuffs' comment? (not sure what you mean by that... 😉 )

Again, thanks!

Click to expand...

Do you have any pictures of your setup?
 
I've used the Leviton system. I haven't setup the Media box yet, but I have all the "outlets" installed. Its a fun project to do.
