Rack mount USB hub with angled usb ports?

[etc6849]

I'm looking for a 1U or 2U rackmount USB hub with angled ports so dongles don't stick out. I only need 4-6 usb ports and the hub would have to accessable from the front of the rack.

Does such a thing exist? If not, what does everyone do with USB dongles for keyboard, zwave, mouse etc... if you have a completely metal rack. If I stick these devices inside the rack hooked to the PC, the signal strength is terrible.

I don't know of any that are prebuilt - but you can go with a modular system that you can toss in USB ports.... Combine the panel with a rack shelf and tape a few off the shelf USB hubs on it and you got yourself a solution! (with some major downsides.. but it's something)

Another option is to use a decent USB hub with a custom rack faceplate...
