Does anyone know if there are rackmount inline splice panels? I have a potential small cabling project for a client where the client needs to move a patch panel from a 1st floor closet to a 2nd floor closet without pulling new cables. There are finished walls and ceilings and it would be cost prohibitive to wall fish new cables to each office. The client doesn't want network equipment in the 1st floor closet either. Right now the client terminated cables to one patch panel, then used 1ft patch cables to jumper to a second patch panel where those runs go to the 2nd floor. All scabbed together with mismatched cable types and patch panel types. They know they need to fix it due to some wallplates not coming up at 1gig, not passing PoE, or not working at all. I've used single inline splices before and they've worked great. But I have 40 cables that need to be punched down and the inline splices aren't practical in this situation.

That is what I'm talking about, but I need it on a rackmount panel.
