    I really appreciate that these videos don't assume any industry knowledge. I am a novice homelabber and will be installing my first network rack in my home in the coming weeks, including a patch panel, so this video was very timely!

      @@trueCABLE Sadly I live in Europe so not going to be an option for me. I ended up ordering a keystone patch panel with some shielded keys that will be arriving soon at my place. Thank you for the great video and your helpful reply :)

      @@virtualnk5825 Hey again VirtualNK. Yeah, you can use shielded keystones and patch panel instead to prevent ANEXT with Cat6A at 10G. Glad we could help!

    If I have a PoE device, feeded by a PoE switch, but in the way to get connected, the PoE switch is through a keystone patch panel, and the PoE device is connected through a keystone jack, will it work correctly? Thank you in advance

      Hello! The answer is YES, absolutely! In fact, this is the best way to go about it since keystone terminations are far more durable and higher performing than hand-terminated 8P8C (aka RJ45) plugs. The only thing to watch out for is to be sure the keystone jacks themselves are rated for the PoE type you intend to run (most are, but check to be sure).
