I just looked at the installation instructions for the Siemens screened patch panel, I've never used one so I'm not familiar with them. If you can deal with the cost it should be fine although the shielded jacks won't be needed. I also don't see a provision for connecting the ground bus to an external ground- maybe I missed it.
Oops, there it is, right in front of me!
Two ground lugs are provided (one on each side of panel) for attaching 4.115mm (6 AWG) ground wire to ground...
