Abstract

A coaxial panel comprising a frame with a plurality of openings and a mounting plate for holding a plurality of coaxial jacks that is mounted to the frame is disclosed. Each mounting plate includes an exterior surface that includes an intermating structure for slidably coupling a first mounting plate to a second identical mounting plate in a sliding direction either in a vertical orientation or a horizontal orientation. The intermating structure configured such that two coupled mounting plates cannot be pulled apart in a direction generally perpendicular to the sliding direction. The coaxial jacks mounted to the mounting plate and the mounting plate include slidably intermating alignment structures for aligning front coaxial cable connection locations of the coaxial jacks with the plurality of openings in the frame.
