Review on NavePoint Rackmount/Wallmount 24-Port Cat6 Patch Panel: RJ45 Ethernet, 568A/B Compatible by Adam Stone

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The RJ45 jacks are loose and won't hold the connector.

Wish the product was better. I had 6 CAT6e lines going to the panel and 4 of them didn't work. Thinking it might be my wiring job, I redid all the connections that didn't work. It didn't work so I reconnected all the outlets thinking they might not be plugged in properly. At one point when I was plugging in a cable next to a cable that I had rewired and tested, double checked and rewired, I moved the connector to the side a bit while plugging in another cable and saw the connection light come on . the switch clicked. I thought it was an accident, put the fork down again and there it was. After spending two hours (or more) rewiring the patch panel and all the keystones, it turned out that the RJ45 connector was loose in the jack. Long story short, a new panel I order from another supplier costs me $20 more. and perfectly connected the first time. This gets 2 stars because they were refunded and I didn't have to send it back. Remember you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • INSTALLATION HARDWARE INCLUDED: There is no need to purchase additional mounting hardware as the necessary cable ties and mounting screws are included.
Cons
  • So far so good
