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!
Hello Nick! Thanks for the kind comments. We strive to put out useful information and aim it at the DIY crowd for the most part. In a couple of months, we will have a LOT more content around patch panels. Stay tuned! Hint. Hint.
Hello VirtualNK. We have some amazing news for you! trueCABLE will be carrying 3D staggered unshielded keystone patch panels shortly! We will have them in stock in less than 30 days. We don't ship internationally, but if you live stateside you will be to order one soon! Keep an eye out on our social media and website!
@@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).

I'm also about to install a home network, can't find any staggered patch panels to order but I think I'll go with a keystone, great video! thanks!
