It was definitely to make it cleaner overall. And yep the patch panel is just RJ45 keystones.

This rack does not contain a router. In essence it pretty much just houses my access point. My router is in my basement. The top device is the MOCA adapter, which converts ethernet running through coax cables in my walls to RJ45. Then the it is plugged into the patch panel (specifically the port labelled "LAN"). A white patch cable then connects to my switch. Allowing for whatever devices connected to the switch to be connected to the network. All the other ports in my patch panel are devices specifically in my room. So stuff like my WAP, my PC, maybe a raspberry pi in the future, ect. ,ect. All of them connect to the switch via the patch panel.
Woah that’s clever I’ll actually look into that.
Nope that’s my UniFi Access Point. I came up with using the Eket as a basis for the rack specifically so I could mount my AP there.
I was actually inspired by this post and some posts on this subreddit to make a 10" rack for myself.
