RE: Twinax and Balun's Wiring question

Can I just put a balun on the twinax wire out of the 400, connect that to
with a patch cord to an
RJ-45 jack, then wire that to another RJ-45 jack elsewhere in the office?
The other end would be
identical, using RJ-45 jack, patch cable to balun, twinax to the terminal?

Can I go through the patch panel instead of hard wiring from one jack to the
other?

I run both a B20 and a 170 without twinax, using baluns and cat 5 (twisted
pair) through a patch panel to both consoles and my own terminal without
problems.
