Patch panel DELOCK Mini Desktop RJ45 8-port Cat.6A shielded black for table, wall or DIN rail

The DELOCK Mini Desktop patch panel provides eight shielded RJ45 Cat.6A ports in a compact metal housing designed for table, wall or 35 mm DIN rail mounting. It is intended for small network installations, distribution cabinets or installations with limited space where a professional, durable network termination is required. The RJ45 jacks include dust protection flaps to keep contacts clean and the black metal construction ensures a robust and long-lasting installation.

Advantages

The patch panel combines Cat6A performance with a compact form factor and a shielded design to reduce interference. Multiple mounting options—table, direct wall or DIN rail—allow flexible installation in offices, small technical rooms or industrial cabinets. Dust protection flaps on the RJ45 jacks protect contacts from dirt, while the metal housing provides mechanical strength and a professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Small office or home office network terminations
• Workstation or lab setups with limited rack space
• Distribution cabinets and small switch cabinets
• Industrial environments requiring DIN rail mounting

When it may not be suitable

This mini desktop patch panel is not intended as a full-size rack-mounted solution for large data centers or enterprise wiring closets where higher port density and rack compatibility are required. It may also be unnecessary for very simple single-device connections where a single direct cable would suffice.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 8 shielded RJ45 ports
• Category: Cat.6A (suitable for high-speed Ethernet)
• Compatible conductor sizes: AWG 22–26
• Housing material: metal
• Colour: black
• Mounting options: table, wall or 35 mm DIN rail

How to use

Mount the patch panel on a table surface, directly on a wall or clip it to a 35 mm DIN rail using the included mounting clips. Terminate network cables to the rear of each RJ45 jack following standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) and ensure shielded cable pairs are properly grounded to maintain the shield continuity. Insert patch cables into the front RJ45 jacks to connect switches, routers or devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Required port count vs. the 8 available ports
• Whether Cat.6A performance and shielding are needed for your network
• Preferred mounting method: table, wall or DIN rail
• Cable conductor size compatibility (AWG 22–26)

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use Cat.6A shielded cabling and ensure proper grounding of the shield at one end. Choose the wiring standard (T568A or T568B) consistently across the network and avoid excessive cable bends near terminations to maintain signal integrity.
