I have to put in patch panel, and ordered just a basic punch down one. Then I go on youTube and realize, that I can make it a whole lot easier for me if I just punched down to the individual keystone jacks to pop-in to a blank patch panel. Some people were complaining that the straight up metal ones were too tight between ports or the metal punches did not quite fit the keystone jacks.
I was wondering if anyone here had more experience, can suggest something good. I like the idea of snapping each keystone jacks into plastic inserts into a metal panel. The modular configuration helps me to maintain one port without disturbing the whole thing too much.
So far the ones I see on eBay want to see me HIGH density 24 port on 1u all bunched together. I can't see the cable manager bracket that goes with it to help space out the cables, with zip-ties. The photography is poor and can not tell if these panels are just straight sheet metal with square punches, or have plastic insert guide grommets around the keystone insert that goes in it. I am getting confused and spent way too much time shop-browsing to find the same results.
So which panels has anyone used, that they liked - and comments please.
