Patch Panel Alcasa GC-N0113 0.5U Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 Cat6

The Alcasa GC-N0113 0.5U Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 Cat6 patch panel from Good Connections is a compact steel module designed to organize and terminate Cat6 network cabling. With eight RJ-45 ports in a half-rack height format, the panel provides a space-efficient solution for small racks, wall-mount enclosures, or consolidation points where reliable Gigabit connectivity and tidy cable management are required.

Advantages

Constructed from durable steel with a white finish, the patch panel offers mechanical protection and stable mounting in standard 19-inch rack environments while occupying only 0.5U of rack space. The Cat6-compliant RJ-45 ports support Gigabit Ethernet speeds and are arranged to simplify labeling and connection. The compact depth and reduced height make it suitable for installations with limited space without compromising on port accessibility or cable routing.

Suitable for

• Small server racks and network cabinets where rack space is limited
• Wall-mounted enclosures and telecom cupboards
• Office or home network distribution points requiring Gigabit Cat6 connections
• Patch panel consolidation in wiring closets or floor-level panels

Key specifications

• Form factor: 0.5U (half rack unit) suitable for 19-inch racks
• Port count: 8 RJ-45 ports for Cat6 patching
• Cabling standard: Cat6 compatible for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Material: steel construction for durability
• Colour: white finish
• Dimensions (approx.): width 212 mm, height 22 mm, depth 100 mm

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack or compatible enclosure using appropriate screws and cage nuts for the 0.5U position. Terminate incoming Cat6 cables to the rear IDC or punch-down connectors according to the T568A or T568B wiring scheme, maintain proper cable bend radius, and secure cables with ties or anchor points to reduce strain. Connect patch cords from the front RJ-45 ports to network devices or switches to establish Gigabit Ethernet links. Label front ports clearly to reflect endpoint destinations and simplify future moves, adds, or changes.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use Cat6-rated patch cords and ensure consistent wiring standard across the installation. Keep cable runs within recommended lengths, maintain proper cable management and grounding practices, and avoid tight bends or excess twisting near terminations to preserve signal integrity.
