Patch panel 1U A-LAN PK020, 24 ports, black steel, rack-mount

The A-LAN Alan PK020 is a 1U rack-mounted patch panel constructed from durable steel with a black finish. Designed for organized cable management in server rooms and network cabinets, this 24-port panel accepts a range of network cabling and provides a structured termination point for horizontal cabling runs. The slim 1U form factor fits standard 19-inch racks and offers a compact, reliable solution for consolidating connections in small and medium network installations.

Advantages

The steel construction ensures mechanical strength and stability for repeated patching and maintenance operations, while the black finish resists wear and integrates with common rack aesthetics. With 24 ports, the panel allows dense termination of copper or compatible cabling types, reducing clutter and simplifying cable tracing. The 1U height conserves rack space and enables straightforward front-access patching and labeling.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data cabinets in office environments
• Telecommunications closets and network distribution points
• Small to medium enterprise LAN deployments
• Patch and cross-connect panels in structured cabling systems

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U, fits standard 19-inch racks
• Ports: 24 front-facing ports for network cable termination
• Material: steel chassis for durability
• Finish: black powder-coated or painted finish
• Mounting: rack-mountable with standard mounting holes

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack occupying one rack unit (1U). Route horizontal cabling from the distribution area to the rear of the panel and terminate each cable to the corresponding port following the chosen termination standard. Use appropriate cable management and labeling on the front and rear to maintain organized runs and to simplify future changes. Once terminated, connect patch cords from the panel ports to active equipment such as switches or patch switches to establish network links.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use compatible cabling and adhere to industry termination practices. Allow strain relief for horizontal cables, avoid over-bending near termination points, and maintain tidy cable routing to reduce interference and simplify maintenance. Label ports consistently to speed troubleshooting and documentation.
