So, have any of you, ever, purchased Ortronics parts online? I've been trying for the last few minutes and it's... an ordeal. All of the distributors listed on their site suck ass (even the one that's juat a Network Solutions parking page) and every one wants a salesperson to get chummy with you before they'll part with anything. This is unacceptable. So, I hit google with "Ortronics TJ600-00" (the part numebr I want) and get a few sites. Mostly Russian (?!). Finally, thinking I have hit nerdvana, I see Data Cable Corporation actually has a shopping cart and allows online purchases! Huzzah. Oh, but every Ort. part has a $0.00 price tag. Looks like it's quote time, Back to square one!

This is a gigantic pain in the ass. The only reason I'm even considering them anymore is that I need some of their (propreietary, joy!) TracJack plugs because like fools we have Wiremold floor boxes that won't take any other type of jack. Bitches.

So, do any of you have a source of parts from this mythical distributor? Or better yet, someone else (more online shopping friendly) that sells TracJack compatible parts?

Thanks for any help.

Oh them. I've seen that logo before. I guess it just didn't register when typed in plain text.

Also I think your link is borked. Can you edit/repost?

Sadly, the link is correct.* I just now realized that the catalog site just blows goat ass.

The quick way to my required part:
Go to the above link.
On the left, click Clarity
To the right now, click Workstation
Set the Drop-downs as follows: Category: 6, Color: Black, Footprint: Tracjack
The first one should be part number is OR-TJ600-00.
Click View next to that, and that's a picture of what I need.

A forms only based website is retarded. I just thought I'd throw that out there. Mad

*For certain remarkably small values of correct, meaningful only in a purely statistical context.

I checked Leviton's site and they don't appear to have a similar jack. (These Tracjack things are totally flat faced, they don't "stick out" like a regular wall jack does.)

But since I don't have any bezels, I couldn't use them even if I did find a good source. So, I'm gonna go buy some wallplates and get my chop on. Wink

Thanks anyway guys.

I was going to suggest Leviton as well, but you're right, I doubt they make stuff like that. Closest thing I could find is this (assuming links work):

http://www.levitonvoicedata.com/catalog/BuildPage.aspx?BuildPageID=1526

I also had a look at Blackbox but they don't appear to have anything specifically aimed at floors.

How flush does it really have to be? Won't there be a cable sticking out of the damn thing? I think most places actually just use raised boxes on the floor, and desks positioned over or beside them.

Well, that Ordontics thing you referred to looks pretty slick, and I've never seen anything like it.
