Keystone panels provide modular patch panel frames that accommodate individual keystone jacks, enabling custom network configurations. These unloaded frames allow you to build patch panels according to your specific cabling requirements, whether Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A, or fibre connections.

Network installers and IT professionals face the challenge of creating patch panels that match exact port requirements without incurring the cost of pre-terminated solutions. Keystone panel frames solve this by offering empty mounting systems where you insert only the jacks you need. This modular approach suits installations where different connection types coexist, or where future expansion may require additional ports.

When selecting keystone patch panels, consider the rack unit size required for your cabinet space. Standard 1U frames accommodate 24 ports in horizontal layouts, while compact 0.5U versions fit the same port count in reduced vertical space. Angled keystone frames position jacks at 45 degrees to reduce the cable bend radius at rear connections, which is particularly important in high-density installations. Frame finishes include black powder coat or chrome, matching cabinet aesthetics. All frames accept standard keystone format jacks, providing compatibility across manufacturers. Excel keystone blanks fill unused port positions, maintaining dust protection and professional appearance.

These panels mount in standard 19-inch server racks using included cage nuts or screws. The unloaded design means you purchase frames and jacks separately, allowing precise budget control and stock management.
