I'm looking into getting the DYNAMIX 20" Network Enclosure, Recessed Wall Mount for my home but have a few questions on what patch ports are available for this. The network enclosure is found on the following link: http://www.dynamix.co.nz/HWS-2004V2Searching around the internet, it seems like the default patch port for this is the following: http://www.dynamix.co.nz/HPP-1008-1SLWhile the above seems to be the default solution for that network box, I don't really like the untidy design with the cables all being exposed on either top and bottom of the module exposing the wires like that and would like something similar to what cabinets have so the cables are neatly tucked away at the back. I'm not very proficient with how network designs should be done and I have a feeling it might be difficult using the network enclosure given that it's depth is 99mm compared to network cabinets being around double this at 200+mm but would like the clean look of the cabinets while using the space saving of the enclosures. The patch ports that I have seen are as below:1) http://dynamix.co.nz/PP-MINI12-C6B2) http://dynamix.co.nz/PP-MINI8-UK3) http://www.dynamix.co.nz/PP10-C6-12 Looking at 1) and 2), I would assume i could maybe align the holes together to mount the patch port but unsure how it can be done.And 3), maybe have a longer screw that goes from the patch port to align with the holes on the network enclosure? As the cabinet's made out of metal, i'm guessing putting a wireless modem inside here won't be idea either or is it viable to have the wireless modem in here as well? I was thinking of maybe having the ASUS AC3100U in the cabinet with that connected to the Fibre ONT as this is the best modem / router I have, but if WiFi signals will get impacted by it, i'm wondering if i should just put the Spark HG659B modem in the enclosure and have the ASUS modem as just a wireless bridge on one of the rooms instead.Would I be better off just taking the metal door off and use the network enclosure so the network signals aren't impacted? Will that defeat the purpose of having the network enclosure in the first place by letting dust go into it unnecessarily?Would it be a good idea to place the Fibre ONT inside the network enclosure and will it fit? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
