InLine 24-way Keystone empty patch panel 19-inch 1U grey for Cat5 Cat6 Cat6a cables

The InLine 24-way Keystone empty patch panel is designed for organizing and structuring network cabling in server rooms, data centers, and telecommunication enclosures. This grey modular patch panel fits standard 19-inch racks, occupying 1U of rack space, and supports Cat5, Cat6, and Cat6a cable types. Built with a robust metal frame, it accommodates up to 24 Keystone modules, allowing flexible configuration for various networking setups. Integrated cable ties and pre-mounted cable clips simplify rear cable installation while providing reliable strain relief. Additionally, built-in labelling fields help maintain a clear and organized overview of connected lines.

Advantages

This empty patch panel provides a highly customizable networking solution through its Keystone compatibility, enabling users to mix and fit different module types according to specific infrastructure requirements. The inclusion of 24 pre-mounted cable clips ensures neat cable management on the rear side, effectively reducing strain on individual connections and preventing accidental disconnections. The dedicated labelling fields allow for fast identification of ports, minimizing maintenance time during troubleshooting or network reconfiguration. Its standardized 19-inch 1U form factor ensures seamless integration into existing server racks and network cabinets.

Suitable for

• Structuring local area networks in office buildings and enterprise server rooms
• Data center installations requiring modular Cat5, Cat6, or Cat6a connectivity
• Telecommunication enclosures and network distribution cabinets
• Custom network setups utilizing interchangeable Keystone modules

When it may not be suitable

This product is an empty patch panel and does not include pre-installed Keystone modules or network jacks, meaning additional components must be purchased separately.

How to use

To use the patch panel, begin by mounting the 19-inch unit securely into your server rack or network enclosure using appropriate rack screws. Prepare your network cables by stripping the outer jackets and terminating the individual wires into compatible Keystone modules according to your wiring standard. Snap the terminated Keystone modules firmly into the 24 available slots on the patch panel from the front or rear, depending on module design. Secure the incoming cables to the integrated cable clips on the back of the panel to provide proper strain relief and keep the installation tidy. Finally, write clear designations on the labelling fields above each port for easy identification.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing rack or cabinet supports standard 19-inch equipment with a 1U vertical clearance.
• Ensure you purchase compatible Keystone modules separately, as they are not included with the empty patch panel.
• Check your cable infrastructure requirements to confirm compatibility with Cat5, Cat6, or Cat6a standards.

Usage recommendations: Always secure cables to the integrated strain relief clips to prevent long-term tension on the Keystone modules and maintain stable network performance.
