So,

I'm more than a little OCD. I've got a standard Structured Panel in my Comm's closet with a load of cat-6, twisted pair copper, Toslink and HDMI cables coming from various places in my house.

It's ugly, and difficult to work with.

So, my friend, Mr. BambuLabs P1S and I have given some thought to augmenting the panel with real (ish) patch panels.

This is what the first draft looks like (Crafted in SolidWorks):

It's not exactly the final product, but close.

The issue is the binding posts for the twisted pair. These things are stupid expensive. The 28 posts you see shown would be some $200.

Is there a smarter way to do these?

Thanks in advance
