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

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.

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.

Love this thing, good value for money, as well as build quality. Easily fits into Rackmate T1, easily assembles, and a very clean look. The only issue I have is that switches don't come in 12 ports, so 4 ports are pretty useless.

I bought this for a 3D-printed 10" rack (specifically, the LabRax) and it fits perfectly. The build quality is great, the keystones perfect, and it looks fantastic. The .5U format is great and let me space some shelves for better airflow. There is plenty of room to get into the keystones individually, even fully populated.

10 inch fits the case baby! Front and rear union jack …i.e. its a passthrough. Works. Nuff said.

good quality, definietly cat6 speeds with my cable tester and speed tests with this being in the middle. Would buy again

These are the only 0.5u 10inch keystone panels I've ever been able to find. And they do exactly what they say on the tin. It's a bit hard to install and remove keystones, but they usually stay in once installed. However, I am still peeved that a week after GeeekPi launched the RackMate T1 they removed the option from their website to order a blank 0.5u 10in keystone panel, requiring you to pay twice as much to get the version with 12 Ethernet keystone jacks pre-installed on it. I have literally 30+ of those Ethernet keystones laying in a bucket because of that and I had to pay more.

Feel surprise that I can fit in plastic Fiber keystone after I cut off part of the fulcrum point on the bottom of the keystone with cutter. Don't expect it can fit in other keystones even they are Ethernet keystone from other brands since the bottom lip of the port is too small than the standard one.

Ich habe das Patchpanel in meinem kleinen Homelab-Rack getestet und bin wirklich zufrieden damit. Es passt perfekt in einen 10-Zoll-Rack und nutzt nur 0,5U Platz, sodass der vorhandene Raum optimal ausgenutzt wird. Die Verarbeitung wirkt solide und robust, insbesondere das Metallgehäuse macht einen sehr stabilen Eindruck. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die Unterstützung von CAT6-Kabeln, was für sehr schnelle und zuverlässige Netzwerkverbindungen sorgt – ideal für ein modernes Home-Lab oder kleine Büroumgebungen. Die 12 Anschlüsse sind sauber nummeriert, was die Organisation und das spätere Nachverfolgen der Kabelverbindungen deutlich erleichtert. Die Keystone-Module sitzen fest und sicher, was die Montage weiterer Geräte unkompliziert macht. Die Installation war dank beiliegender Schrauben unkompliziert, und das Panel passt auch in verschiedene standardisierte Racks ohne Anpassungen. Obwohl das Design recht schlicht ist, erfüllt es genau seinen Zweck: Ordnung im Netzwerk schaffen und das Kabelmanagement stark verbessern. Ich kann dieses Patchpanel jedem empfehlen, der seinen Netzwerk-Rack übersichtlich gestalten möchte und dabei Wert auf eine hochwertige CAT6-Verkabelung legt. Für den Preis bekommt man eine sehr gelungene Kombination aus Funktionalität und Stabilität. Leider muss ich einen Punkt für die kleine Macke am Port 7 abziehen, welche schon beim Auspacken vorhanden war.

As expected

Lo compré para mi rack DeskPi RackMate T1 y ha sido perfecto para organizar los cables de red en el setup casero. Lo que me encanta: Exactamente 12 puertos Cat6 con keystone couplers incluidos → todo listo y conectar sin comprar extras. Tamaño 0.5U y ancho 10" → cabe justo en racks pequeños como el DeskPi o cualquier cabinet de 10" sin desperdiciar espacio. Construcción sólida: chapa de acero con pintura blanca mate, los puertos están bien alineados y los couplers encajan firme sin holguras. Fácil instalación: viene con tornillos para rack, y los keystone son fáciles de montar/desmontar si necesitas cambiar algo. Calidad-precio brutal: por lo que cuesta es mejor que muchos paneles genéricos chinos que se doblan o pierden los couplers. Lo que hay que saber: Los keystone son Cat6 estándar (no Cat6A), así que para velocidades 10 Gbps cortas va bien, pero para tiradas largas o 10 Gbps reales mejor Cat6A. El panel es solo para montaje en rack (no incluye bridas ni etiquetas, pero trae un par de grapas). En resumen: 5 estrellas. Para racks pequeños como el DeskPi o setups home-lab con 12 conexiones o menos, es la solución ideal: organizado, profesional y barato. ¡Recomendadísimo para quien monta un mini-rack en casa!

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.

Este panel de parcheo encaja como un guante en racks de 10", especialmente en setups tipo DeskPi. Los 12 puertos vienen listos para usar con keystone incluidos, bien alineados y firmes, sin holguras raras. La construcción en acero se nota sólida y no se deforma al montarlo, algo que sí pasa con paneles más baratos. El formato 0,5U es uno de sus mayores aciertos: permite organizar el cableado sin desperdiciar espacio, algo clave en racks compactos. Los puertos numerados ayudan a mantener todo claro y facilitan mucho el mantenimiento cuando tienes varios latiguillos conectados. No es un panel “premium extremo”, pero por precio y calidad cumple de sobra. Para un home-lab o un mini-rack con hasta 12 conexiones es una solución limpia, funcional y con aspecto profesional. Ideal para dejar atrás el caos de cables.
