I have a Cablematters 24-port patch panel with inline keystones that connect the ethernet wires from my cameras to my POE switch. I've been having a random camera disconnect. After some troubleshooting, I noticed that when I move the keystone around with my fingers, it sometimes causes disconnects. If I use a cable tester and put pre-made cables on both ends of the keystone, I don't notice any issues. So it seems like the keystones don't always like the terminated connector from the ethernet cable coming from my cameras.
Is this just a manufacturing defect with this particular patch panel? Would you just buy another brand?
