"No" blathered:

Why even bother with punch blocks or patch panels? More money, more
places for things to go wrong. Why not just terminate your Cat5e cables
with the RJ-45 (if they aren't already) and plug them directly into the
router/switch. You can get nice cable tags to put on each cable to ID
it.

Don't do this, its ugly and less reliable.


Why? Why is adding more places for signal attenuation MORE reliable?
Still, just curious?
