Hi all,

As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am currently in the process of retrofitting my 1940's home with structured wiring. I am planning on going with 2RG+2Cat5 to most of my drops. I'd like to go with a modular wallplate a la Leviton QuickPort, but the best price RJ45 inserts for these things that I've seen are around $5/each. Home Depot has them for $6.47 each! That seems expensive and will add up fast. Does anyone know if these can be purchased in bulk with a discount somewhere? Or recommend a better or cheaper system than the QuickPort?

One place previously mentioned on the forums:

Some one also mentioned getting them from Gruber ( http://www.gruber.com/ ) which is a manufacturer. They posted a number for a rep who would help you out. Use the search button to find the post.


Good Luck!

You can save some $$ buying the contractor packs (qty 10) at Home Depot.

You can also try worthington distribution .

Along these lines... suggestions on where to buy patch cables to connect all this in the structured box?

Tri-State Electronic has the Cat 5e jacks for $3.10 each.


Edit to add that these are the Leviton jacks.

Good people to do business with- quick and reliable.


Good luck!

NewEgg has some great prices on Cat5e and Cat6 stuff as well.
