Patch panel 19" A-LAN modular 48 ports 1U, unpopulated, model PK046

The A-LAN 19" modular patch panel PK046 is a 1U, unpopulated panel that provides space for up to 48 modular ports. Designed for standard 19-inch racks, this patch panel accepts keystone-style inserts or RJ45 modules to terminate copper network cabling. Its unpopulated configuration allows you to select and install the specific keystone jacks, shielding options and port types required for your structured cabling project, whether in server rooms, network closets or data centers.

Advantages

The modular design enables flexible port configuration and simple future upgrades without replacing the entire panel. A 1U form factor conserves rack space while supporting a high port density of up to 48 connections. Compatibility with common keystone and RJ45 modules ensures interoperability with a wide range of copper cabling components. The unpopulated format reduces inventory complexity by allowing deployment with only the needed modules and shielding types.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations in offices and commercial buildings
• Server rooms and rack-mounted network equipment enclosures
• Network closets and telecommunications rooms requiring custom port configurations
• Data centers where modular port selection and easy maintenance are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch, 1U rack-mount panel
• Port capacity: space for 48 modular keystone/RJ45 inserts
• Configuration: unpopulated (accepts user-installed modules)
• Compatibility: keystone-style inserts and standard RJ45 modules for copper cabling
• Application: designed for structured cabling, patching and port termination

How to use

Mount the PK046 in a standard 19-inch rack using the front mounting holes and appropriate rack screws. Install the chosen keystone or RJ45 modules into the panel openings according to the module manufacturer instructions. Terminate the copper network cables on the rear of the installed modules and label each port as required for identification. Ensure that grounding or shielding measures are applied when using shielded modules, and route patch cords on the front side for patching to active equipment.

Usage recommendations

Choose modules that match your cabling category (for example, Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6A) to maintain link performance; verify module and cable compatibility before installation. Use cable management and labeling to keep high port density organized and accessible. When using shielded modules, ensure proper chassis grounding to preserve EMI protection.
