Is this for Cat 6 shielded cable?
A shopper
on Sep 10, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Can be used for both Shielded and Unshielded. As you can see, the ports are grouped in sets of 6. All Shields of all 24 ports are electrically connected. Which is something you probably want for Shielded uses.
Outer case is made of metal, and there is a ground wire for the case. The black paint is non-conductive, and is inside and out. I can't recall if case ground is connected to Shield ground. ( but simple copper tape on the inside can achive this)
To create a faraday cage (for EMI concerns in my implementation), I grinded off the paint where the lid contacts the rest of the assembly.
. At the back they provide access holes for cat5/6 cable to enter the unit. I used copper tape to close off the unused holes (again grinding the paint off for better grounding/ EMI shielding).
This item's features provide for a lot of flexibility. only thing I would change is masking the paint in specific locations I mentioned above. Since the item is only 1/2 RU high it provides 1/2 RU in my frame for labels.

It can be used for either shielded or unshielded, but it is designed as Cat6A shielded. It comes with a grounding wire and metal clamps that ground each cable together.

Yes, the shield foil and wire is clamped down with the cable and connects via a PCB bus. The Patch panel has a green earth wire attached that can be run to ground.

I have punched down shielded Cat6a to this, no problem. It would accept UTP as well.

I used Cat 6A that was shielded and my system works Great.

BEST ANSWER: Shielded vs un-shielded would be my best answer. Shielded cable & proper grounding are important if you have a lot of emf in your area (motors/furnaces/radio waves/industrial machinery/magnetic doors locks), to prevent cross-talk.

Can you fit two of these in a single 1U of rack space?

BEST ANSWER: Yes - that’s what the half-u is and two defnitely fit in a single 1U.

Solid construction other than poor termination
After punching down the wires from my CAT6A cables, I noticed some of the metal teeth were bending or breaking out, making the port completely useless.
I was using a pro-quality impact punchdown tool, and have never had this problem before.
Just a little sad since it is an otherwise well-built unit.

Great except for one thing.
They port are the wrong orientation. They should be flipped so the pins are on top. This preventing accumulation of natural dust on connections.

Great value
I found this patch panel to be well built. It is easy to install if you extend the cables thru the front of the rack and mount after the cables are terminated. We use panel maps so we don't need a place for labels. On our installation it saved me 12 RU. If you need space for labels pick a different patch panel.

Have not used it yet but it seems rugged durable can't wait to use it. I was slightly curious to see it in person since I did read some reviews who said it seemed cheap but to my surprise it seems like a great product to me.

Lost 3 Hours of lost work and lots of frustration.
Sad to say. I connected up wiring Cat6A-568C to 2 of these patch panels- one on each end. And after all connections were patched a number of ports did not work. At least 1/2 were not working. Also, I repatched a few to make sure if there were bad terminations and still nothing. This wasted approximately 3-4 hours of patching, troubleshooting, and repatching to a new set of patch panels.
A different set of old patch panels worked flawlessly. I don't know if its the circuit board on this, the connectors, or something to do with the wiring 568C (which tech support could not confirm). However, it's not worth the risk for a future installation from my point of view.
Needless to say, I am returning and Monoprice had no issues with the return.

Best Patch Panel I Have Ever Used
This is the best patch panel I have ever used. In addition to being shielded, the half-U design makes it easier to punch down cables. All you need to do is be able to get above the patch panel.
