1x6 patch panel

thingiverse

This is a functional 1x6 patch panel for keystone jacks. I made it because I had some jacks lying around and needed a small patch panel for an internet router w/ a DSL internet feed. You can get keystone jacks at your local hardware store or buy them dirt cheap on ebay. I've included the freecad file for the bracket. It was designed using freecad 0.17 which is very different from 0.16 so make sure you use the right version. The patch panel was designed using openscad. Print Settings Notes: As your lawyer, I recommend that you rotate the bracket before printing it. I just did a straight export from freecad and forgot to re-orient it. You may also want to flip the patch panel upside down depending on what finish you want on the panel's face. How I Designed This patch panel block To generate the patch panel block, I used the patch panel generator that I made here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1741072 You can use it to change the number of jacks if necessary. All the screw holes should work w/ M4 screws. The bracket uses M4x20 screws to hold the patch panel.
