NavePoint 10-inch CAT6 STP panel: skip it for the TRENDnet 12
SKU 00407266 is NavePoint’s own 10-inch 12-port CAT6 STP panel for the 6U. 10 × 1.764 × 5.063 in. Krone IDC. ANSI/TIA/EIA 568B. Maker store and Newegg (sold by NavePoint) both printed $46.79 this pass. The TRENDnet TC-P12C6 is the same width, unshielded Cat6, 110 or Krone, maker $28.59. That is still the 10-inch default.
The cabinet-maker panel is the obvious add-to-cart next to the 6U. It is the wrong add. A closet of UTP Cat6 does not need STP. Shielding only pays if every drop is shielded and the panel is actually grounded. Krone-only is a second tax: the TRENDnet takes 110 or Krone, so the Klein VDV427-300 still works. Depth 5.063 in will hang in the NavePoint 7 in max mount. Width is the real 10-inch / 254 mm, not a 19-inch 10-inch-deep tray with a confusing title.
Amazon listing B0CH1K346P is live; no clean buy-box dollar on this fetch. Print the live tag. The CAT6A sibling 00407267 is the same 10-inch 12-port in STP Cat6A — more money, still not the closet default.

Skip
Skip 00407266 because it matches the cabinet brand. Skip it for STP you will not ground. Skip the CAT6A 00407267 sibling unless the drops are Cat6A shielded. Skip 19-inch panels sold next to this one. You still need a Krone tool; it is not in the NavePoint box. Use the Klein VDV427-300. Used eBay lots are out. We have not punched a 00407266.
