Patch panel Alantec PKL001 1U, Gigabit Ethernet, RJ45, Cat6, rack-mount, 482.6 mm, black

Alantec PKL001 is a 1U rack-mount patch panel engineered for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The panel offers 24 RJ45 ports compliant with Cat6 cabling and is sized to fit a standard 482.6 mm (19-inch) rack. Constructed to support structured cabling in server rooms, network closets and telecommunication racks, the unit provides organized cable termination, numbered port identification and a universal connector slot compatible with LSA sequence 568A/B.

Advantages

The patch panel uses shielded (STP) channel elements to mitigate electromagnetic interference where required. Integrated Navi LED technology enables link testing and cable identification from a single interface, allowing verification of the connection quality between the active device and the patch panel and confirming correct end-to-end wiring. The panel maintains a conventional mechanical design for simple integration into existing installations and includes a convenient rack-mount arrangement for quick deployment.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in server rooms and data centers
• Network distribution in telecommunications racks and network closets
• Termination and organization of Cat6 horizontal and backbone cabling
• Environments requiring shielded (STP) connections to reduce EMI

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of rack space. Route Cat6 cables to the rear termination area and terminate each conductor according to the LSA 568A or 568B wiring scheme using the universal connector slots. Connect patch cords from the RJ45 front ports to switches or other active equipment. Use the Navi LED testing feature to verify link status and to identify individual cables as needed. Ensure shield continuity on both ends when using STP cabling and follow local grounding practices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use certified Cat6 cables and maintain proper bend radius and cable separation from power sources to minimize interference. When deploying in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, verify that shielding and grounding are correctly implemented. Regularly test connections with the Navi LED function to detect faults and to confirm consistent Gigabit links.
