I need to purchase a 6 to 12 port Cat5 (or Cat5e or Cat6) patch panel quickly... I need to find it at a local place near Portland, OR...

Here are the places I have tried:
- CompUSA
- Norvac Electronics
- PCH Cables
- Iguana Micro

Does anybody else know of anywhere, even a non-retail distributor type place, that would carry a small ethernet patch panel around Portland?

TIA!

For home use, or even small business why not just crimp ends onto your cat5 and go straight to the switch? It's not ideal, but it would work fine.

you can order one online, even a 24 port would be fine, just don't use it all now. Plan for the future :)

Fry's does have patch panels... but only panels with more ports and higher cost... I want to keep it under $25 to $30.
