Menards has Pass & Seymore network wiring systems. They have the jacks and plugs. The jacks are modular so you can put from 1 to 6 jack in an outlet box. They also have other jacks for cable , speaker and phone wiring. They have a 12 port cat 5 block for putting in the utility room. I found a 24 port network jacks for less at Dexis.
