	Yes, there are many vendors of RJ-45 Patch Panels that can assist you. Use your favorite search engine to find them, you are being paid to do this, we aren't, go earn your consulting fee. __________________ “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” Ben Franklin.

	Easy. Measure the size of the rack and divide by the size of a U. __________________ Good moaning!

	48 port RJ45 patch panels are common in 1U 19" rack formats. So 11U seems reasonable, but, it really depends on what you mean by "out let for office building". Do these outlets have any/a lot of electronics behind them? Or, are they wired from another frame: in which case you may need an input shelf, plus the 11U. Or you may need an input shelf plus patching shelves plus an output shelf so that would be between about 39 and 44U. __________________ If you spend all your time looking for people and things to complain about: trust me, you will find plenty to complain about.

	A U = 1 3/4 inches.
