   There is a large range of cabling hardware available, with a
corresponding range of capacities, from a 2U or 3U folding wall mounted
frame to hold patch panels to a full height totally enclosed cabinet, with
optional shelves and fans. Some manufacturers such as AMP even make two
ranges of RJ45 connectors, for stranded or solid UTP cables, so you can just
plug in for a permanent installation. Make sure you connect the pairs for
ethernet, there are at least three different standards and only one is
correct. You are some way away from my local supplier, but you could get
things mail order from NetShop
