Intellinet 48-Port Shielded Blank Patch Panel, 1U 19-inch Rackmount Keystone Panel with Removable Cable-Management Bar and RJ-45 Connectors

The Intellinet 48-Port Shielded Blank Patch Panel is a high-density 19-inch rackmount solution designed to organize and manage network cables efficiently in professional server rooms and structured cabling systems. Occupying only 1U of rack space, this unloaded keystone panel accommodates up to 48 ports, allowing network administrators to build scalable setups using both shielded and unshielded keystone jacks. Built from durable cold-rolled SPCC steel, it features a removable cable-management bar that secures cables and reduces strain. An included earthing kit protects connected network equipment from external electrical surges, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance with industry standards such as CE, RoHS, REACH, and ANSI/TIA-568-D.

Advantages

This patch panel maximizes connectivity within limited rack space by packing 48 ports into a compact 1U footprint. The sturdy cold-rolled steel construction guarantees durability and dependable performance in demanding commercial environments. Numbered ports simplify cable identification, while the removable cable-management bar helps maintain a clean and organized wiring layout. The inclusion of an earthing kit adds an essential layer of protection against electrical surges, safeguarding sensitive network hardware. Additionally, the standard 19-inch rackmount design ensures seamless integration into existing server racks and enclosures.

Suitable for

• High-density network installations in server rooms and data centers
• Structured cabling systems for commercial and residential applications
• Voice, data, audio, video, and fiber-optic signal distribution
• IT infrastructure setups requiring custom keystone jack configurations

This patch panel may not be suitable for low-density home networks or environments where only a few network connections are needed, as managing 48 ports would be unnecessary. It is also not compatible with standard non-keystone modular blocks without the appropriate slim keystone jacks.

Key specifications

• Rack capacity: 1U
• Mounting: 19-inch rack mounting
• Ports quantity: 48
• Cable types supported: Cat6
• Compatible wire gauge: 23/26 AWG
• Construction material: Cold-rolled SPCC steel
• Color: Black
• Compliance and certifications: CE, RoHS, REACH, ANSI/TIA-568-D

To use the patch panel, securely mount the 19-inch chassis into your server rack using the provided mounting hardware consisting of cage nuts, M6 screws, and plastic washers. Install compatible slim keystone jacks into the numbered ports according to your network wiring requirements. Route and organize the cables along the removable cable-management bar to minimize tension on the connections. Connect the earthing wire to the designated grounding point of your rack to protect the system against electrical surges. Finally, test the connections to ensure proper signal transmission across your network infrastructure.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your server rack adheres to the standard 19-inch width and has 1U of available vertical space
• Verify that you have compatible slim keystone jacks, as standard-sized jacks may not fit all 48 high-density ports simultaneously
• Determine whether a shielded setup is required for your network environment to utilize the shielded design effectively

Usage recommendations: Plan your cable routing carefully before installation to prevent congestion on the rear management bar. Always connect the grounding wire to ensure electrical safety and protect sensitive network hardware from unexpected power surges.
