Patch panel module for CapRack, a capsule 10-inch rack system

CapRack is a server rack mounting system that allows you to install more equipment in your 10-inch server rack.  

This is a patch panel that holds 4 keystone jacks for the CapRack.

CapRack modules are composable! You can connect any 2 CapRack modules into a 1U 10-inch module.

I have created some CapRack modules:

• Raspberry Pi 4 & 5 mount
• Blank panel & ventilation panel
• 2.5-inch hard disk mount

Requirements

You need 2 x M6 screws and 2 x M6 hex nuts to connect this module with other CapRack modules.
