Menards has Pass & Seymore network wiring systems.  They have the jacks and
plugs.  The jacks are modular so you can put from 1 to 6 jack in an outlet
box.  They also have other jacks for cable , speaker and phone wiring.  They
have a 12 port cat 5 block for putting in the utility room.  I found a 24
port network jacks for less at Dexis.
