Patch Panel 1U Dätwyler Cables 418020

The Dätwyler Patch Panel 1U (model 418020) is a shielded 19-inch, 1U rack-mount panel designed to accept up to 24 snap-in Keystone modules. It is suitable for Cat6a, Cat6 and Cat5e installations and provides organized front-facing connectivity. The front plate combines a flame-retardant UL94V-0 rated compound with stainless steel and includes a cable strain relief; the panel is supplied without modules. Available front colours are grey (similar to RAL 7035) or black (similar to RAL 9005).

Advantages

The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference for improved signal integrity in structured cabling environments. Snap-in Keystone modules are easy to install and replace, while blank covers allow unused ports to be closed. The UL94V-0 flame-retardant front and stainless-steel elements increase safety and mechanical durability. Integrated cable strain relief with a tie wrap secures cabling and helps maintain connector reliability.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and network racks requiring organized 1U patching
• Cat6a, Cat6 and Cat5e horizontal or backbone cabling
• Environments where shielded panels are preferred to mitigate EMI

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of vertical space. Snap the desired Keystone modules into the front openings until they click into place.

Cover any unused ports with blank covers to maintain shielding and a neat appearance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance with PS-GG45 7A modules, Dätwyler recommends using the MGK 24x patch panel variant. Ensure proper grounding of the shielded panel and follow category-specific installation and testing procedures to maintain certified network performance.
