GeeekPi 12 Port Patch Panel, 10inch 0.5U CAT6 Network Patch Panel for DeskPi RackMate T1/T0/T2/T1 Plus/T0 Plus/TL1 and 10 Inch Server Rack/Network Cabinet

As expected

The GeeekPi 12-Port Patch Panel (10-inch, 0.5U, CAT6) is an excellent solution for clean, professional cable management in compact and desktop rack environments, especially when paired with the DeskPi RackMate T1. It’s thoughtfully designed for users who need enterprise-style organization in a small footprint without compromising performance. CAT6 Compliance: Supports gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet with reliable signal integrity, making it suitable for high-performance home labs, small servers, and networking setups. 10-Inch, 0.5U Form Factor: The half-unit height and 10-inch width are ideal for compact racks, allowing efficient use of vertical space while maintaining accessibility. 12-Port Density: Provides ample port capacity for structured cabling in small environments, enabling clean termination and easy identification of network runs. Keystone-Compatible Design: Accepts standard keystone jacks, offering flexibility for CAT6, CAT6a, or specialized modules depending on your build. Solid Construction: The metal chassis feels sturdy and well-finished, providing proper grounding and durability while maintaining a lightweight profile. Punch-down terminations are straightforward, and once installed, the panel delivers stable, interference-free connections. It dramatically improves cable routing and airflow compared to unmanaged patching, making maintenance and troubleshooting much easier. The compact layout is especially valuable in desktop racks where every inch matters.

The GeeekPi 12-Port CAT6 Patch Panel (0.5U, 10″) fits perfectly in my GeeekPi 4U DeskPi RackMate T0. It feels solid, labels are clear, and punch-down was easy. It handles PoE without any issues, which is essential for my UniFi and Pi-based setup. Only wish it came with a rear cable management bar, but overall, it’s an excellent choice for compact racks. Reliable, neat, and PoE-ready.

Works well in my homelab that's housed in the T1 Rackmate. Easy to install, just screw in and then plug and play. Helps clean up all the network cables that I had floating around everywhere. Looks great.

Works great but should come included with the rack kit.
