The InLine 24-way Keystone Empty Patch Panel for 19-inch Racks 1U Black provides a structured and reliable solution for organizing network connections in server rooms, data centers, and network closets. Designed for modular network setups, this empty patch panel allows you to customize your installation using standard Keystone modules to match your exact cabling requirements. Built for standard rack integration, it accommodates up to 24 ports within a compact 1U height, making efficient use of available rack space while ensuring your physical infrastructure remains orderly and accessible.

Advantages

This patch panel offers high flexibility through its empty Keystone design, allowing technicians and network administrators to select and install specific modules such as Cat5, Cat6, or Cat6a types according to current project needs. The inclusion of integrated cable management features and cable ties on the rear helps secure cables effectively, reducing strain on connections and maintaining clean routing paths. Additionally, dedicated labelling fields above each port simplify port identification, minimizing downtime during maintenance and troubleshooting procedures.

Suitable for

• Building structured network distribution systems in 19-inch server racks

How to use

Begin by planning your network layout and selecting the appropriate Keystone modules required for your installation, such as Cat6 or Cat6a connectors. Snap the desired modules securely into the 24 available slots on the patch panel from the front or rear, depending on the module design. Mount the 19-inch patch panel firmly into your rack enclosure using appropriate hardware taking up 1U of vertical space. Route your network cables from the back, secure them using the integrated cable ties for strain relief, and apply labels to the designation fields for clear port identification.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your enclosure is a standard 19-inch rack with at least 1U of available vertical space
• Confirm whether you already own compatible Keystone modules or need to purchase them separately
• Assess your cable management requirements and ensure the rear routing space is sufficient for your installation

Usage recommendations
Ensure that cables are properly secured using the integrated ties to prevent accidental disconnection and maintain optimal strain relief. Always label each port clearly during installation to streamline future network changes and maintenance tasks.
