Patch panel LANBERG 24-port 1U 19" Cat5E FTP shielded, black

The LANBERG 24-port 1U 19" Cat5E FTP patch panel is a compact rack-mounted solution for terminating and organizing shielded Ethernet cabling. Engineered for use in server rooms and telecom cabinets, this metal patch panel provides 24 RJ45 keystone ports in a standardized 1U housing and is compatible with Cat5E FTP (foil shielded) installations. The shielded design helps reduce electromagnetic interference when connected to a properly grounded installation, while the black finish and compact form factor support neat cable routing and labeling in professional network environments.

Advantages

The patch panel offers a high-density 24-port layout in a single U of rack space, enabling efficient use of cabinet real estate. FTP shielding improves protection against crosstalk and external interference for shielded Cat5E cables. The metal housing provides mechanical durability and grounding continuity when installed with shielded connectors. Color-coded labeling areas and keystone-style ports simplify port identification and future changes without altering the permanent cabling.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data cabinets requiring organized cable termination
• Structured cabling installations using Cat5E FTP (foil shielded) cabling
• Telecommunications closets and patching fields in small to medium networks
• Environments where reduction of electromagnetic interference is desired

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 RJ45 keystone-style ports
• Rack height: 1U, fits 19" rack systems
• Cabling standard: Cat5E FTP (foil-shielded) compatible
• Enclosure material: metal housing with grounding provision
• Finish: black
• Mounting: front panel for standard 19" rack/cabinet installation

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a standard 19" rack occupying a single U of space and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Terminate FTP Cat5E cables onto the rear keystone modules or jacks according to the wiring color code and tighten any cable shields to the panel grounding point to ensure continuity. Plug patch cords into the front RJ45 ports for network connections and label each port as required for easy identification. Maintain proper bend radii for cables and route them through cable management accessories to preserve signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

To maximize shielding benefits, always use compatible shielded RJ45 connectors and ensure the panel and rack are properly grounded. Follow Cat5E termination standards and avoid excessive cable bending or stress near termination points. For environments with higher bandwidth needs or longer runs, evaluate Cat6 or higher category solutions.
