Hi, so I'm planning out a new Cat6A wiring job. I'm going to have it run to my closet (pic below) and run to all rooms, different access points, and other things I might want to hook up over POE. Eventually I'll prob Ubiquiti setup, but right now just gonna run on 1GB. Since I want to future proof, I'm doing Cat6A. Here's what I'm planning on getting, anything wrong here? Rack (measured, will fit) Cat6A cable Patch panel Cat6A Keystone Jack's (my installer will provide the wall plate's) Surge protector Server Rack Shelf (maybe 2) I think everything is pretty good there. Am I missing anything? Everything should work well together here right?

I will tell you to use the same brand for your wallplates and keystones. Occasionally things line up by chance, but having to deal with mismatched jacks that hit the studs is frustrating.
