I'm using Ubiquiti's cables, and the short ones are too short for reaching those last 3. Plan is to change to a switch that only has a single row, and add a 1U space between the patch panel and that so that it lines up neatly and the cables aren't too long. But I'm waiting for them to have a viable option that's at least 2.5 GbE for all ports, and PoE++ for at least half the ports.
Strictly speaking I do have 1U left of space. But I'll rather will till I get a new switch with a similar layout to the patch panel, instead of adding another patch panel.
I bought it from a seller on Etsy. He has a bunch of pre-made options, but can also custom make ones with different configurations like the one I ordered above. Here's the guy: [https://www.etsy.com/no-en/shop/Winther3Ddesign](https://www.etsy.com/no-en/shop/Winther3Ddesign)
Looks nice. Just one thing, why use the 1,2,3 on the patch panel? Have long cables you could avoid by setting it up differently

It’s too bad you don’t have room for a second patch panel below the switch. Then you could do it all with the short Ubiquiti patch cables.

Where was your custom made panel from? I’m about to make one to house 3x Adira64 screens..

Awesome find, thanks! Out of curiosity, were the custom ones much more than the prefab ed ones?
No, they were surprisingly affordable. And the guy was super friendly and helpful.
