19-inch Keystone Patch Panel 1U 24-Port with Cable Relief Rail, helos 371981, grey

The 19-inch Keystone Patch Panel 1U 24-Port with Cable Relief Rail, helos 371981, grey is a modular rack-mounted panel designed for structured cabling in standard 19" racks. It provides 24 keystone ports that accept a variety of modular connectors, allowing flexible configuration of copper or fiber adapter modules. The included cable relief rail helps route and secure patch cables, reducing strain on terminations and maintaining a tidy rack footprint.

Advantages

This 1U patch panel supports a high density of connections in a compact rack space and enables modular installation of keystone jacks for mixed connector types. The grey finish provides a neutral appearance that fits most data center and network closet environments. Integrated cable relief simplifies cable management, improves accessibility during maintenance, and helps protect terminations from excessive bending or pull forces.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers requiring centralized patching
• Telecom racks and network closets with mixed connector requirements
• Small and medium enterprise network installations
• Environments where modular, reconfigurable cabling is needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch, 1U rack mount
• Number of ports: 24 keystone ports
• Port type: Keystone openings for modular jacks or adapters
• Material: Metal housing with painted/finished surface
• Color: Grey
• Cable management: Integrated cable relief rail for rear cable routing

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a standard 19" rack at the preferred height and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Insert compatible keystone jacks or adapter modules into the front-facing openings according to your cabling plan and terminate cables on the rear side following the jack manufacturer's wiring scheme. Route patch and permanent cables through the integrated cable relief rail and secure them to reduce strain. Label ports as required to maintain clear documentation of network connections.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use keystone jacks and patch cables rated for the intended network class (for example Cat5e, Cat6, or fiber types) and avoid sharp bends near terminations. Maintain proper strain relief by securing cable bundles to the cable relief rail and avoid exceeding rack load specifications when populating multiple panels.
