Found this article this morning. Armed with good pictures and better information, I think I will feel confident that I can do this. My previous experience with patch panels has been, well, less than stellar and avoid them at every turn. Hopeful that the vendor mentioned has better than the average bear panels, and not more of the same poor fitting and poor quality stuff typically sold.
Maybe this will help someone else out. When I get to this point, I plan to catalog the process well with pictures and video.
