Intellinet Patch Panel Cat5e FTP 24-Port 1U Shielded 90° Top-Entry Blocks Black

The Intellinet Patch Panel Cat5e FTP 24-Port 1U Shielded 90° Top-Entry Blocks in black is a rack-mountable networking component designed for structured cabling systems. Offering 24 shielded ports and 90° top-entry punch-down blocks, this Cat5e FTP panel supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet standards while occupying a single rack unit (1U). The unit is RoHS- and UL-compliant and is intended for installation in standard 19" racks. Physical dimensions are approximately 43 mm width, 48 mm height and 482 mm depth, and the panel weighs about 1.9 kg.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design reduces electromagnetic interference in environments where grounding and cable shielding are required, improving signal integrity for copper Cat5e links. Top-entry 90° punch-down blocks simplify cable routing in shallow rack spaces and help maintain tidy cable management. With 24 ports in a 1U footprint, the panel delivers a balance of port density and space efficiency for small and medium rack installations.

Suitable for

• Office and data closet structured cabling for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielded network environments requiring grounded FTP connections
• 19-inch rack installations where 1U space is available
• Patching and reassigning connections in enterprise or SMB networks

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19" rack occupying a single U of vertical space. Terminate incoming shielded Cat5e cables on the 90° top-entry punch-down blocks following the T568A or T568B wiring scheme required by your network. Secure cable shields to the panel's grounding points to maintain the continuity of the FTP system. After punch-down, route and label patch cords on the front RJ45 ports for easy identification and connection to switches or other network devices.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriately rated shielded patch cords and ensure proper grounding of the panel and cable shields to obtain the benefits of FTP shielding. Maintain consistent wiring standards across the installation and perform continuity and performance tests after termination to verify connections support the intended Fast/Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
