Intellinet Patch Panel Cat5e FTP 24 Port 1U Beige Grey

The Intellinet Patch Panel Cat5e FTP 24 Port 1U Beige Grey is a 24‑port, 1U rack‑mountable patch panel designed for structured copper cabling in network racks. It supports 10/100/1000BASE‑T(X) Ethernet when used with Cat5e FTP cabling and provides a centralized termination point for horizontal runs. The unit is UL certified and supplied in a two‑tone beige and grey finish, with a net weight of approximately 1.65 kg. The panel is intended to be mounted in standard 19‑inch racks to consolidate and organise network connections.

Advantages

This 24‑port patch panel simplifies port management by grouping multiple connections in a single 1U space, reducing cable clutter and making moves, adds and changes faster to perform. The FTP (foil shielded twisted pair) design offers enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference when used with shielded cabling, and the panel’s compliance with industry rack standards ensures compatibility with common server rooms and telecom cabinets. The compact weight and colour scheme facilitate straightforward installation and identification in mixed rack environments.

Suitable for

• Small and medium enterprise network racks requiring 24 copper Ethernet terminations
• Server rooms and telecom cabinets where 1U space efficiency is needed
• Environments that use Cat5e FTP cabling for reduced electromagnetic interference

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19‑inch rack using appropriate screws and cage nuts for a secure 1U installation. Terminate each horizontal Cat5e FTP cable to the corresponding rear IDC or punch‑down points following T568A or T568B wiring conventions for consistent polarity. Use labelled patch cords to connect active network devices to the front RJ45 ports. Verify each connection with a cable tester and ensure proper shielding continuity when using FTP cabling and grounded equipment.

Usage recommendations

Plan cable routing to minimise bend radius and avoid running data and power cables in parallel over long distances. Maintain consistent wiring standards across the installation and use clear port labelling to simplify future changes. When using FTP cabling, ensure the shield is properly terminated and grounded at a single point to preserve shielding effectiveness.
