Cable Matters Rackmount or Wall Mount 2U 48 Port Keystone Patch Panel with Cable Management and Support Bar (19-inch Blank Patch Panel for Keystone Jacks/Keystone Panel)

Installation went well in my rack. Terminated 18 drops of cat6 using cable matters keystones, cut the extra wire flush using flush cutters. The keystones set too close to each other to where the bare ends on the sides of the keystones short out against each other.

I purchased this because I had a closet with 10 Cat5E and 10 RG-6 termination. This Patch panel was easily mounted vertically inside the OnQ box that was already in the closet and allowed me the flexibility to have a single patch panel and fill half of it with Cat5E keystone Jacks and half with RG-6/F-Connector Keystone. It was quite sturdy (easily mounted) and standard sized keystone openings. I us Med 3 different brands of keystone jacks and they all fit securely in the opening. My favorite part is the cable support/organizer that is on the back. it makes organizing the cables coming into the patch panel very easy with just a few zip ties.

This works great, but the differentiator is that this has spots to zip tie down the cables taking stress off of the keystones. Nice product.

Yeah, this along with the double-female thingys doesnt suck.

Cable Matters own CAT6 jacks will not fit in there own CAT6 jack panel. The jacks are too wide to fit next to each other.

Opened the package and thought there were lables included only to realized the item was also scratched from previous installation. I did not order a used item. Item still works obviously.

I thought these are universal but apparently not the case. I used Leviton 5G108 (Cat5e) and would not fit. It would jam and wont clip correctly. I cant even remove it after it was inserted.

Ive used several punch-down style patch panels over the years. While this is more expensive (including the keystone jacks), it is well worth the extra expense. Being able to move keystones around (easily done with this panel) as well as the built-in strain relief make this panel worth it. I have no problem recommending this.

I bought this over a competing brand because of the cable management arm which is an excellent plus. Turned out even the slots for the keystones are far superior compared to competing brands. Would buy this again.

I bought 2 of these for a client site and the keystones will not fit together. If you space them they work great but i think this is more in line for cable matters keystone vs leviton, mono price, on-q etc. I didnt see anything in the item description that said it only works with specific keystones so i must return them. On the positive side shipping was great as usual and this patch panel looks really nice an clean. I just cant use it with my keystones and its not an easy option to buy new keystones as i have over 300 already in stock
