I regularly install the HP Ethertwist hub. It has a 50-pin telco plug on the
rear of the unit which can be extended to something like an Ortronics patch
panel, for rack mounting, or you can purchase a 12-port harmonica available
from HP. I do not have the part number in front of me, but any HP distributor
can find it for you.

Hope that helps you somewhat.
