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)

Product performed as advertised

This is a nice keystone patch panel. My only gripe is it says CAT6. Nothing about this makes it CAT6 compatible. I would rather it not have this text.

Rack mountable, use these with mix-and-match snap-on stuff. Inexpensive, convenient place for labels, allows you patch various cables with ease

Chose this panel over others because it had the cable tie tie-down point built into it. This ensures that your cables dont put strain on your keystone jacks, thus improving long term reliability! Awesome feature and worth the few extra bucks. Otherwise, I love the keystone patch panel because I can install whatever keystone jacks I want! Another great quality and low cost product from Cable Matters.

Surprised with the quality of the build for the price. Works as expected.

It gets the job done. However, the key stones fit a little loose. I’m a newbie when it comes to networking, so this could be true with all patch panels. Good value for the money.

I love having 24 ports, but the only way I see getting RJ-45 keystones side-by-side is if you have some really good side cutters. The wire ends stick out too much. Thankfully I only needed a couple of keystones and are using other ports for cable management.

Wells well. No issues .. fits well in my rack ..

I was pleasantly surprised by this. I installed Leviton keystone Jacks that I already had. They fit great. There is a place to cable tie each cable. I still need to straighten up my wires but this is much better than the three junction boxes I had before.

Cable Matters CAT8 keystones are harder to install in this unit than in a competing unit I also have. I am also not a fan of the way the cable ties attach to the cable support but it isnt a big deal. Keystones are a pain to install because the top of the keystone tends to go above the cutout. What worked was inserting the top at an angle and then rotating down to snap the bottom in. Pressing down on the keystone release and rotating up didnt work. A small deal but why does it say CAT6 on the panel? This takes keystones. In my case they are all CAT8. I can understand the label on a punch down patch panel but not on one that takes keystones. IN summary, it works and the cable support is nice but I like the other one I have better.
