Skip-that's interesting. We just started using the blank panels from Hubbell because our installers said it was easier to terminate the individual inserts rather than work with the 110 connections on the back of a preconfigured patch panel.

You do have a point about reading the numbers on the cables. We actually spell the number to help with questionable markings; especially when some numbers get rubbed off a little bit during the installation process.

Maybe we need to look outside our small family owned box a little bit more?
