Chuck McCown needs to fabricate fiber patch panels fully loaded. There has got to be a huge profit margin in there somewhere.
I mean essentially it’s a rack mount case with patch module inserts which are basically just a bunch of SC/LC pigtails. And maybe a splice tray or fancy tray system. That’s it. Can’t be more than a few hundred dollars of materials in there. SC to SC pigtails are less than a buck a piece. The rest is just shaped metal/plastic.

We use Comstar, best to have it custom quoted. The thing is, I've had quotes from Codale, PTSupply, and Comstar. All quoted slightly differently, but they were within a few dollars of each other. Just presented a different way. I found out that they submit to the same manufacturers and the manus basically spit it back to them at roughly the same price. Only thing you might get a better deal on is if they have local stock.
