Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

This 12-port blank keystone patch panel allows you to personalize your networking setup. The 1U form factor is simple to install.

Almost any snap-in jack, including Cat6, is compatible with each panel. To accommodate a variety of setups, use keystone jacks and inserts to configure your panel.

To support your cables, it's made of heavy-gauge metal. These patch panels are flush after installation, resulting in a clean, solid look.

The front of the box has a clear numbering system that makes it simple to identify cable runs.

Designed to work with any rack system. Any standard 19-inch relay rack, cabinet, or wall bracket can be used as a mounting surface.

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use it with commscope cat6 unshielded jacks?

I suppose so if it's a common keystone jack.

Is it possible to put labels on the connectors?

Each keystone opening has a small white square above it that can be used to write a small label. I was able to park each opening with a brief description by using a label maker with a smaller font.

Is this the kind of patch panel with a simple rectanglar hole through which the keystones will protrude once inserted? Do the keystones sit flush with each other, or do they protrude?

They are parallel to each other.

12 - Excellent quality Patch panel with a keystone opening

5/5

The item is exactly as it appears in the search results and as described in the product name - does not correspond to the image on the product details page (which appears to be a low-resolution image of a 24-port panel). The search image depicts the correct item, which is a 12 "slot" patch panel for keystone connections, as described in the title. Each keystone connection is a tight fit, with the opening being thicker than the metal frame alone. The keystones are secured in place, with the keystone's face flush with the panel's front. The panel is about the same width as a standard component rack. However, I used a Cable Matters Panel bracket for 10 inch panels to secure this panel to the wall. Shelf mounts (part B00NO786K2) worked great and allowed for tool-free installation. The panel can be removed from the mount with less effort. The patch panel with the brackets that were purchased separately is shown in the image.

It was effective in my case

5/5

This is a fairly simple product that will work fine as long as the tolerances are within spec. It worked flawlessly in my HT rack. I only needed a few of the keystone holes at the time, so I filled the others with keystone plugs for a more professional appearance.

They are effective

5/5

For a MSP/Data center provider, I am in charge of the operations group. We install one of these panels in each of our customers' colo cabinets and use standard keystone jacks to connect their cross connects to it. These units perform admirably for their intended purpose, and we have had no problems with them.

Keep an eye on the jack you're using

3/5

It fits "virtually all snap-on" devices, according to the manufacturer. I haven't had any experience with any of the brands I've tried. I'm not sure what the story is on this one; it says it accepts "virtually all snap-on" items, but I'm not sure what that means. in jackboots" I've tried a few different brands, and they all have similar snap-in features. I bought it to put in a rack, but the holes are far too large for the jack to fit into. They're worthless to me, so they'll end up in the scrap heap. I ordered a couple from Cable Matters, and they were exactly what I needed.

It accomplishes the task at hand

5/5

It can hold keystone jacks and is inexpensive. There isn't much else to say at this point.

This is a great low-cost keystone patch

3/5

It's a good patch panel for the money. My only wish is for a piece of metal to run the length of the back to secure the cables. Some keystone jacks have good features for securing the cable so it doesn't wiggle around and loosen the connection, but the majority of them don't.
