I have a homemade patch panel I constructed years ago. It consists
of 12 N bulkhead feedthrough connectors mounted in two rows of six
on a 10 1/2 rack panel. I put N to C adaptors on the front and have
several patch cords made up with C connectors (like a big BNC). On
the back, I use whatever adaptor will work with the connector on the
coax I'm running to the patch panel.

73, Roger
