Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patch panel technology, and in particular to a screwless patch panel clip with a cable management ring. Background Technology

[0002] Existing patch panels are typically fixed to the rack with screws, requiring the installation of matching clip nuts before screwing them in during on-site installation. This method is cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, a screwless patch panel clip has been introduced, which automatically locks in place after being pressed into a preset position. While convenient, the clip position is fixed after locking, and the size and position of the rack mounting holes vary due to tolerances. This can lead to incomplete locking and wobbling, indicating room for improvement in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
