    I put in a mid-sized net using the  AMP  hardware,  and  cost  of  the
    faceplate,  drop  cable, BNC "FastTap" jack, two RJ-13s, an RJ-45, and
    the gangbox came to nearly $70 per location.  Nice stuff, though,  and
    easy to install.
    
    I'm  doing  a  roughly  comparable  job at the moment, using Leviton's
    InfoQuad jacks.  They're putting them together for me custom, and  the
    whole  thing  comes to just under $20 each. Not bad for a custom order
    on only 36 units.
