Does anyone know where to get HIGH END brass floor
plate with a cover for rj45 and rj11 terminations to plug into ?

I've used the type for flush-mounted electrical receptacles -- I can't remember the exact price, but they were somewhere around $50 each, at Graybar. For the RJ-11/RJ=45's, Leviton makes a plate that's the same shape as two obround AC outlets, but accepts quick-port inserts. It worked out very nice...

Cool thanks
I thought Mike Sandman carried them but I couldn't find them HERE

Leviton makes them.....Capitol Sales sells them

We have several such floor outlets in some older areas at work. These have been retrofitted with RJ-45 jacks. The little oval "outlet-shaped" doors have sharp edges that flush fit into the flared recess. While they look cool and "antiquey" if they are placed right under a desk the occupant seems to use them as a "gas pedal" to make the computer go faster. What I mean is that with just the weight of a misplaced foot they end up severing (breaking ?) one or two wires inside the Cat5 jacketing after a while.
I haven't used one but this retro-modern model from Carlon has a large single door for plugging in jacks and a little cable door to route and (hopefully) take the strain off the cables. Maybe it will fit in well with your installation ?
