Perhaps a closer reading of the description would have made it clear that this item is made of plastic rather than metal, but I thought so it is so it is metallic. It is not. My biggest issue is that most keystone connectors do NOT fit side-by-side on this panel. You can use every other hole by turning this 12 port panel into a 6 port panel. I will not use it for my project. Besides, it's a decent product.
