Patch panel LANBERG PPU5-1124-S 24‑port 1U 19" Cat5e UTP

LANBERG PPU5-1124-S 24‑port 1U 19" Cat5e UTP is a rack-mount patch panel intended for structured copper cabling in network racks. The panel offers 24 RJ45 ports compatible with Category 5e UTP cabling, arranged in a 1U 19-inch form factor to fit standard network cabinets. It enables organized horizontal or backbone connections and supports labeling for simplified cable identification and maintenance.

Advantages

The LANBERG patch panel delivers a compact 1U footprint that conserves rack space while providing 24 easily accessible RJ45 ports. Its Category 5e compatibility ensures support for typical office and small data-center Ethernet links over unshielded twisted pair cabling. The front-facing port layout and labeling area support straightforward connection management and faster troubleshooting. The metal housing suits standard rack installations and contributes to mechanical durability.

How to use

Install the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of vertical space and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Terminate incoming horizontal or backbone Cat5e UTP cables on the rear side keystone or IDC terminations following T568A or T568B wiring schemes as required by the existing network. Route cables to minimize strain and use the front labeling area to mark port destinations. Connect patch cords from the front RJ45 ports to active equipment such as switches or patch panels on other racks to establish network links.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use Category 5e UTP cabling and compatible RJ45 patch cords, maintain correct pair orientation and pair twist up to the termination point, and follow T568 wiring consistency across the installation. Keep cable runs within recommended length limits for Ethernet, secure cables to prevent mechanical stress, and label both ends of each connection to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
