Review on 🔌 Tripp Lite 24Port Shielded Blank Patch Panel – RJ45, USB, HDMI, Cat5/6 – Black (N062-024-KJ-SH) – TAA Compliant by Scott Ward

I needed a patch panel that would allow me to easily reorganize my ever-expanding ethernet cables, and while this route is more expensive than a patch panel with built-in connectors, the flexibility you get is second to none.Also if a port fails I can just replace it instead of ripping all the wires out of the normal panel.Also I install pre-terminated Cat 6 STP Ethernet cables in the rooms I have access to.For these needs So I use shielded connectors while I use regular Cat 5e+ or Cat 6 plastic keystone connectors for Cat 5e+ cables.. My personal In my opinion, the fact that they define this as "shielded" is incorrect as the connections inside the metal shield aren't actually closed. All this panel does is electrically ground all the shielded Keystone devices together. This panel has no shielding for the plastic keystone connectors (which you don't need anyway, but it doesn't matter). I've also found that not all harness inserts I've used have a secure fit (meaning some slip out more easily than others), however this could very well be related to the insert and not the plate itself. I removed 1 star mainly because the various parts of this panel seem to wobble a bit and I disagree with their screened definition, but I would definitely buy it again.
