Patch Panel Equip 12-Port Cat.6 Light Grey

The equip® Decktop Patch Panel is a compact 12‑port Cat.6 distribution unit in light grey, designed for desktop or small-rack network installations. It supports IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.5 standards, uses RJ45 connectors with gold plating, and is certified to ISO/IEC 11801, EN50173 and ANSI/TIA/EIA‑568. Each port is labelled with a port number and the panel includes integrated cable management for improved routing and strain relief, compatible with both LSA and 110 termination standards.

Advantages

This patch panel combines a small footprint (44 mm × 212 mm × 129 mm) with 12 RJ45 ports to provide a tidy, space-saving network distribution point. Integrated cable management and strain relief simplify cable routing and help maintain reliable connections. Port numbering enables easy identification, and gold‑plated RJ45 contacts support stable signal transmission. The unit is compatible with equip® patch cords and cabling accessories for consistent system performance.

Suitable for

• Desktop or small IT closets where space is limited
• Cat6 structured cabling for office or home networks
• Temporary installations and patching of Ethernet links
• Environments requiring LSA or 110 termination methods

How to use

Mount the patch panel on a desktop surface or within a small rack space appropriate for its dimensions. Terminate incoming and outgoing Cat6 cables using either LSA or 110 punch‑down tooling according to the chosen standard. Plug patch cords into the RJ45 ports to link devices or network equipment. Verify port numbering to ensure correct mapping between wall outlets, switches and connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use equip® certified patch cords and cabling accessories, follow the TIA/EIA or ISO wiring scheme in use, and avoid excessive cable bending near the strain relief area to maintain signal integrity.
