I read a message about RJ-45's in and a 50-pin out. Not having followed this thread of messages, I may be confused, but: AMP has a new patch panel (not in their catalogue) p/n 556905-1 that has a 50 pin connector on the back, RJ-45's on the front, and is 10BASE-T compatible. That is, only 2 pairs are used for each RJ-45. This number is for a 48 port patch panel.

Each 50-pin only connects 12 ports. (12 ports * 2 pair * 2 wires = 48 pins out of 50) -- Andrew C. Esh andrew@osa.com Open Systems Architects, Inc.
