1U Hinged Rack Panel 8D XLR HDMI Audio Rack Mount Panel for 19 inches Rack Mount (1U8D)

Am building a radio go-box and re-purposed this panel to fit SO-239 antenna connectors. As the holes are slightly larger than needed, I used two of the mounting holes which were a perfect alignment, to mount the panel-mount antenna connectors. Good quality material, hinged on both sides to facilitate opening either side.

This simple panel does exactly what it says. You can mount any jacks that fit (D type, so easy to find XLR, 1/4", ethernet, etc jacks). The best part is it's hinged on both ends. Just remove the screws at one end and then you can swing it open to access the back without having to completely remove it. Very handy for modifying the connections in your rack.

Every bit as solid as its Whirlwind and Neutrik counterparts but at a fraction of the price. I honestly see no evidence of corner cutting compared to similar items I already have, so that tells me the “name brand” steel panels (probably manufactured in the exact same Chinese factory on the exact same equipment) are just priced higher because they can.
