Patch Panel at Bottom of Tower?

I vaguely remember someone saying that they patch the cat5 lines into a panel at the bottom of the tower and then connect to the switch. Just wondering what people have used for this. Anything special? We have had a few times in the past where water would get into the line and I am trying to avoid it going right into my nice switches if it would happen again. Thanks!

Many use the APC surge rail mount with mtc surge protectors

If you want some info let me know.
but yes, APC rack panel with the GIGE-HV-SS modules or whatever they are. works great.

I wish that I had that much space in all my enclosures so I could do the same.....
Those APC racks with ligtning protection looks really nice!
