Everest 48 Port Keystone Patch Panel 1-Pack - Removable 6-Port Panels - Use with Slim Profile Keystones ONLY

Everything I have ever bought from Everest Media Solutions has become a staple in my equipment toolkit as an owner of an IT service company. These are the only parts I panels I will ever use in my entire life as long as they're still made. Easy to patch and repatch thanks to the modular nature of them, easy to label, easy to rack. The built in cable holder and organizer is a great touch. The plastic used for the retaining clips is really quality and I've never seen one break. Read more

If you have your patch panel somewhere in the middle of all your racked equipment, you know how difficult it is to make changes. These 4 accessible panel sections in the 24 port version make that task much easier. It's a lot more simpler to work on 6 port segments at a time than the whole 24! Prepping the patch panel for installation was also easy. Swing out the arms, they click on place, then click in the rear cable organizer. Done. I was able to use various keystones for an organized panel leaving it all looking nice. Read more

I had a standard patch panel (without access to keystone connectors). It worked well for the first installation, but when I had to install more cable in my wall mounted server rack, I saw the problem that a standard patch panel brings. My server rack is installed close to the ceiling, in the closet, where all my network cables were landed by the house builder. I decided to add a few cameras for security reason at my home. This is when the trouble started: I had to disconnect everything just to add two cameras to my network. With this keystone patch panel, it makes add new devices to my network much easier. Not to mention that the cable organizer at the back makes my cabling much better inside the server rack. The main parts of the Everest patch panel are made of metal, which is great. The detachable front panels are made of plastic, but still sturdy enough. The downside is that you have to buy the keystone jacks, but they are usually not expensive, but that is a small price to pay for the flexibility and maintainability this gives. Recommended.

I ordered two of these for my network rack to pair with a 24 port switch with two rows of 12 ports. With a panel above and below the patch cabling is neater and easier for me to work with. The clip style cable tension relief and removable front panels were the features that interested me. Wasn’t crazy about plastic vs metal but for the price was worth trying. The plastic on the front panel is solid, it’ll be fine. The cable tray in the back flexes a bit but not something I’ll access often. Four stars instead of five because the panel is just slightly taller than a 1U rack slot. It’s a very tight fit. I couldn’t get the end caps to fit over the rack bolts due to proximity with units above and below. These definitely won’t work in a full rack. I have some space to spare. Read more

Bought these for work and they are a very good quality product. I will be buying these from now on. They make is super easy to install and remove a keystone from the patch panel when needed. You don't have to try and squeeze your hand behind the patch panel to remove a keystone jack. you jut pop off the front piece and have access to the jack. Read more

Great idea! Modular, removable, faceplate for the jacks to fasten to. Made it so convenient to install the jacks when the wiring was done. I was working through a 2U space in a rack with no swing out access. This was perfect for that task. This way of wiring for patch panels is the path forward, and the removable fronts are perfect. This will be my new go-to. The rear wire management is also a plus. Read more

I purchased and installed a 2 pack. There is a rivet based pivot hinge used to let the "wings" swing in/out. On each unit, one of the rivets was broken. I had to use screws to hack them. Furthermore, there is no way of notifying the manufacturer as an FYI, without going through Amazon service, which I didn't bother to do. My second complaint is that they are a PITA to install because they fall apart repeatedly while mounting. Once installed, they work fine and I do like the removable panels. I think a simpler design is warranted. Read more
