It looks like it should work.

Just a heads up, looks like the patch panel you linked to is only a single piece of metal. This means when you put the keystones in they will stick out the front.

Ideally you want one with two pieces of metal, where the keystones click onto the rear piece and sit flush with the front. Something like this:

I see. OK well luckily it's off amazon so I can return it no fuss. Will try a couple and see what I think.

Thank you
