A Greenlee keystone knockout punch ought to also work. If such a thing
actually existed.

The ICC IC107PP024 24-port 2 RMS patch panel blank is only 1.5mm thick
?steel? The smallest Greenlee rectangular knockout punch measures
11.1mm x 22.2mm and is rated for a maximum thickness of 1.5mm. The
thickness rating goes up from that size.

A keystone knockout measures 15mm x 19mm. The top half of page 95 of the
Greenlee knockout catalog 

https://greenlee-cdn.ebizcdn.com/media/2015%20Knockouts.pdf

shows rectangular knockouts while the bottom half shows D-Sub knockouts.
We live in a keystone world. It's hard to believe that Greenlee doesn't
offer a keystone knockout.

Thank you,
