[sdiy] Buying surplus 1/4" jacks/plugs for DIY patch pay

[John L Marshall]

The ones that I have used were standard 1/4". I still have one sitting here
with 64 jacks; 32 TRS closed circuit and 32 TRS open circuit. A few patch
cables came with it. They had tandem plugs on each end. I think that telco
"back office" patch panels can be pretty standard. But then, I came from the
cellular side of telco.


Take care,
John
