we are terminating to leviton inserts on an open patch panel. We have had good luck, suprisingly with the standard jacks, we sourced the rough environment ones because I was afraid of the temp fluctuations causing problems, but so far for 2 years theyve been good. We bond the bbdge shield to the ground plate as it enters the enclosure and just run the exposed inner sheath up to the panel
