Improving my Home Network Rack - New Patch Panel & Better Wall Mounting

In this video I will be making a couple of improvements to my home network cabinet where I replace the original Gripit plasterboard fixings with a much stronger metal framework. I'm also replacing my original patch panel with a new keystone based one while also trying a new patch panel layout which I hope will make the cabling much neater.
