Patch Panel Stencils

[TheDysk]

I'm looking for Visio 2000 Stencils for network Rack Patch Panels.

I'm trying to document the comms cabinets at work, one of which is a mixture
of network switches and patch panels. The sizes vary from 1U up to 6U.

I've been to Visio Cafe and downloaded the relevant stencils for the
switches and cabinet but have not yet found, either on Visio Cafe or
searching through google, a free stencil that has the patch panels.

I did come across a possible general Network Stencil on TechRepublic but to
get it you have to sign up for a Pro subscription which costs over a hundred
Dollers before you can download it and it may not have what I want.

Does anybody know where I could find a suitable stencil?

Alternatively how easy is it to create stencils on Visio 2000? This is
something I have not yet tried as I have never created one before.

You might check over at John Marshall's site
(http://visio.mvps.org/3rdparty.htm) he has a very good list of the free
ones. You're right it can cost a couple of hundred for the commercial ones,
but if you need them it may be justified. I use the NetZoom product
(http://www.netzoom.net/home/index.php).
