CAT6 Patch Panel

I've just spent the weekend running Cat6 cable under the house only to find that my RJ45 crimping stinks - personally I think it's probably the tool or the jack plugs :)

Anyway, I was thinking of using a patch panel instead as my keystone fitting is much better (IMO). So I've found these on TradeMe;

The only thing is the first auction says Cat6 but the picture says Cat5e - on a patch panel, is there any difference?

Perhaps you can recommend another alternative (including a good price on short patch leads). I could just be a cheapskate and buy 8 more Cat6 Keystone RJ45 Jacks/boxes and plates and 8 patch leads - but at least I would know that I had Cat6 gear.

Any thoughts?
