wsume99 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm in the process of upgrading my home network. When I first wired my network I just installed a connector at the end of the cable run and plugged it directly into my switch. This time I'd like to use a patch panel to clean things up a bit. I'd like to get a Cat6 16-port panel. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment

Ford Prefect Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ...I used keystone jacks (tool-less) for my outlets and with a patchpanel housing in my rack and I can really recommend these, since they made the cabling job for me - as a noob to that respect - much easier. I do not know where to get them in the U.S. but here is a link in english for reference: http://www.digitus.info/en/products/professional-network/keystone-jacks/cat-6/section/prof/ Quote Link to comment

wsume99 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks good to me. I was already leaning towards monoprice but thanks to all for confirming that. Quote Link to comment
mikechy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I have two of them. A 24 port and I think a 48 port. Not the keystone type. Permanent ports, punch down on the back. Old Skool and Mac Truck solid. I'm sure I can dig either up if you are interested. Quote Link to comment
intertan Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 when I redo my low voltage wiring I am planning on using the leviton quickport. tried mono but it is a little loose in the slot for my liking, plus they don't have the decora insert. Now leviton also makes a 24/48 port blank quickport patch panel. will have all my cable,iptv,Ethernet,phone and whatever else I need in this thing. This will allow me do do things with pach cables down the road. example being when you child is old enough to have a tv or tel in there room. a quick click click with a cable and away it goes.

That might explain the looseness. see here: http://hardforum.com/archive/index.php/t-1616822.html Quote Link to comment
