Thanks for the further insight, bigpapa.
I think the conclusion (at least for now) I've come to is this.. (not that anyone cares..)
In my situation, terminating all of the Cat-5 that's run for data will go to a switch, and all the Cat-5 that's run for voice will go to a punchdown block. I'd get a patch panel for coax since there's a significant loss the more you split the signal (as opposed to an ethernet switch). I'll also only plug in probably no more than 4 or so coax locations at a time.
That all being said, Ronnie's wiring closet/rack is absolutely gorgeous, and if I had the time/patience/use for that type of setup, I'd definitely go for it. Great job, Ronnie.
