## Long description

The Rack‑mount STP Cat6a Feedthrough Patch Panel 48‑Port 1U (Tripp Lite N254-048-SH-6A) is a low‑profile, shielded feedthrough patch panel designed for high-density rack environments. It provides 48 numbered shielded RJ45 coupler jacks that support Cat6a performance and full 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The metal housing with STP shielding and included grounding wire ensures consistent cable shielding in server rooms, data centers and network closets. This 1U unit fits a standard 19‑inch EIA rack and features a detachable rear cable management bar to help keep patch cables organized.
Advantages
This feedthrough patch panel eliminates the need for 110 punchdown termination by using fully shielded RJ45 coupler jacks on both sides, allowing straight‑through connections for faster installation and maintenance. The panel is built to Cat6a standards and is IEC 60512-99-001 compliant, supporting PoE applications when used with appropriate cabling. Clear front port numbering and a compact 1U footprint simplify identification and space management in dense network racks. The included grounding wire and STP construction provide improved protection against electromagnetic interference.
Suitable for
Data centers and server rooms requiring 10GbE connectivity
Network closets and telecommunications racks with high port density
Environments needing shielded cabling for EMI mitigation
Installations that prefer feedthrough panels for rapid cable changes

Secure the detachable cable management bar at the rear to route and organize patch cords. Ensure the included grounding wire is attached to the rack grounding point to maintain effective shielding. Ports are numbered on the front to simplify identification when connecting devices and patching to switches, patch panels or network equipment.
Usage recommendations
Use fully shielded Cat6a patch cords and maintain continuous grounding when deploying in PoE or EMI‑sensitive environments. For PoE applications, select PoE‑rated cables and verify power budgets of connected devices. Keep patch cords routed and supported by the cable management bar to reduce strain on connectors and preserve signal integrity.
