You may want to check with a company called "Black Box Catalog".
They seem to make all of the nifty "black boxes" I need and they make
quality stuff.

Black Box Catalog
p.o. box 12800
Pittsburgh, Pa 15241
(412) 746-5800 (tech support)

I believe they have some boxes similar to what you described. Ask them
to send you a "catalog".
