kwmobile 8 Port Patch Panel - RJ45 Cat6 Shielded Network Splitter Panel with Ground Wire - Includes Screws and Dowels for Wall Mount Installation

nice and compact have moved over from 19" rack box to this small size wired box bolted to the wall. would recommend this easy to wire with kron tool. nice and secure when cable tided and bolted down.

Instead of getting cables pulled from one side, all cables come directly into back of patch panel making punching down so much easier. There is also a metal bracket that screws down and clamps and secures two cables at a time as well as the ability to cable tie each one individually. These items make the patch panel look extremely tidy and very solid with little to almost no chance of cables being pulled out of the back.Once all cables patched in, there is an extra metal cover that goes over all the patched cables. This acts as a protector and adds to the aesthetics.I won't go back to using the old style patch panels.

A very solidly made item which neatly sorted my cabling in the cupboard under the stairs. I like the fact it's metal rather than plastic.There was a tendency for the unit to lift off the screws mounting it to the wall as it's difficult to tighten them with the unit in place. I solved this by drilling a hole in the centre of the backplate and putting a screw through to keep it in place - see photos.The side screws holding the cover on are awkwardly positioned, but I just leave them loose enough so the cover slips on and off as it doesn't need to be secure in my case.The punch down connectors work perfectly so long as you use a proper punch down tool.I'm about to put in a couple of extra cables to other rooms, so I wish I had bought the 12 port version. ;)

For what it is, this is a great piece of kit. Made of metal it is solid and slim. Perfect for my needs.

Great shielded Cat6 patch panel for a decent. Decent quality IDC punchdown terminals. Comes with a very basic set of instructions, 4 M6 rack screws and a small bag of cable ties although there's aren't enough supplied to tie down all the ports so loses one star for that. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Great little patch panel that I use for CCTV installations in various places. Works a treat and has no issues with PoE devices passing through.The mounting mechanism does require you to first take the entire thing apart, so you can mount the shell and tighen it down on a wall for example, before then being able to get it cabled up.Could do with the earth cable being a bit longer, or having the hardware to create our own cable and just have the unit omit the earth cable - leaving the crimped end / screw in the box for use later on etc.Definitely recommend to use and purchase

Good quality patch panel offering shielding, anchor points for cables, both A and B info-graphs and easy to terminate points. The ports on the other side are good quality with positive engagement from cables when inserted. Only two things that could do with improvement areThe mounting screws could be better positioned or designed so the panel doesnt slip off easily.AndThe metal enclosure plate can be difficult to take off and refit.

I have both the 12 and 8 port version of this patch panel. The keystones work as expected and it's a solid bit of kit. Recommended!
