+1 for GBICs, SFPs
I don't know if it's just me, but I have the worst luck with them.

This is a riot! I'd love to have something like this at facilities I'm in.
Some useful stuff that comes to mind:
- Rack screws of various common sizes and threadings
- SFPs, GBICs, etc.
- Rollover cable / DE-9->8P8P adapter
- Screwdrivers
- Cross-over Ethernet, patch cables
- zip ties, velcro tape, etc.
- Label tape
Cheers,
