Patch Panel Help
I’m switching to Keystone couplers myself. I purchased punch-down types and favor the durability of terminated RJ45 ends over punch downs. https://www.fs.com/products/41438.html
Keystone modules feature a flat surface measuring 14.5 mm wide by 16.0 mm tall and are secured using flexible tabs. It's fine to select any keystone coupler that meets your network needs since they all work together. fs.com offers reliable access to components.
Check for nearby electrical wires and zones with strong interference. (Welders can be problematic, etc.)
Choose unshielded cables rated at least FT1 in Canada (US equivalent not clear). Use non-shielded jacks. Maintain a minimum distance of about 6 inches from electrical wires. Try to route power cables at a 90-degree angle when feasible. If that's not possible, it's a serious issue. For older 1980s variable frequency drives, shielded gear is advisable. For typical home applications, unshielded should suffice.
