kwmobile Cat6 Patch Panel - Shielded Distributor Distribution Bay Field for Cat 6 Cable Network with Ground Wire in Grey - 8 Port, Wall Mount

I got this to replace a mess of boxes and wallplates that had grown up over time that looked unsightly and was far from robust. This is much neater and should be far more rugged. The box is made from fairly solid metal. There are "fingers" to attach cable-ties to as well as metal clamps which have grounding pads exposed under them (if you are using shielded cable). so once cables are correctly secured, they really shouldn't move. All of the punch-down connections worked perfectly first time.Two minor quibbles: first - and this is completely trivial - it only comes with four cable-ties. If you are patching in 8 cables, you will need at least 8 cable ties. A (potentially) bigger problem arises with the wall-mounting options: the cut-outs in the back (third photo) will allow it to be mounted with the ports facing down but not up, or facing left (my second photo) but not right. If one of those options happens to suit your application then it's not an issue, but if you needed to wall-mount this in one of the other orientations you would need to apply some ingenuity.Overall, highly recommended.

Works very well easy to wire up, clear colour codes. It's also solid and well made. All working fine, I would recommend.

I've either used pattress boxes, modular faceplates and RJ45 modules in the past or full-blown rack mount patch panels, but this is just the ticket if you've got an in-between amount of terminations to make. I'm using it in the loft to patch/distribute fixed wiring for cameras and wifi access points from the POE switch & router to wherever it's needed in the house. Watch out that you can't properly access the mounting holes without removing the internal circuit board which does mean releasing a couple of cable clamps, but there's no big deal about that. Obviously you need a punch down tool and the panel itself probably needs to be hidden as it's not a pretty enough thing for a reception room. Good value for money in this context.

Seems a pretty well built panel. Easy access to the terminals which are clearly labelled for both cabling standards.One very small gripe is that the cable retainers are a bit big and won’t grip my external cat5 cables.

A good product, easy to install.

Just the job for Hardwiring my internet well made easy to use.

Good build quality.ideal for home network

Good product, highly recommended
