so far no problem, I think because one of the patch cords going to the Netgear splitter is flashing yellow and I don't know why.

Unique and performed well!!

We have an ever-growing and ever-expanding LAN, and we were outgrowing our rack space at a fast pace. These Half-U patch panels are just the ticket to help us compress the hardware footprint and continue our network growth.

The build quality is very good, so we can move forward with confidence.

I like the orientation of the punch down as it is easy to add more cables. Watch out for the blocks, do not use your 110 tool as these requires a Krone blade!

Ordered this a while ago and finally got it installed, so quick and well designed. Would have been nice to have color labels in 2-3 places instead of one for wiring but that is a pretty minor complaint. Otherwise the easiest patch panel no confusion and wires up very quickly. I would order again.

This has got to be the worst product I have bought from Monoprice. The worst part about it is I did not isolate my problems to this component until after I was out of warranty. If I could return this I would. There are just too many problems from this component to ignore. I have constant errors trickling on most of the lines running through this panel. I am going to spend the additional money required to get a better and problem free panel.

PROS: Cheap

CONS: Punch down blocks not soldered to boards.

Jack contacts fatigue and fail to make contact after first insertion.

Intermittent failures and constant errors on lines.

This is a pretty good panel, especially for the price. It's 1/2U, which means that there's not exactly a ton of room for labels if you need anything more than the included numbering. There's a bit of room on the ears, and that's about it.



The punchdowns are squared off instead of pointed, so if you like to push the twist over the point to really maintain it, you're out of luck. The clamps that hold on the cover are a little cheap and weird, but not really concerningly so, especially for the price.



The only major issue is that it seems like the housing was painted after the screw holes for the cable clamps were tapped. I wound up stripping about 6 or 8 screw heads over the course of 3 panels. I think there are a few extra included, (didn't use every single port, so not 100% on that) so not an enormous issue, but still kind of a pain.

PROS: Slim

Cheap

Cat 6

Shielded

CONS: Cable clamps have issues

Not much room for labels

Punchdowns are square instead of pointy.

Nice construction. Very slim. Enabled me to install more in a tight closet. Speeds test @ 1000Mbps. works nicely with stranded and solid wire. One locking clip came broke, but the other one is in-tacked. I would definitely buy again

PROS: slim

inexpensive

Solid construction

CONS: Plastic locking clips
