How to use

To install the patch panel, secure it to the front rails of your 19-inch rack using appropriate mounting screws.

Route your network cables through the rear support bar to ensure they are properly anchored and organized before connecting them to the keystone jacks. Use the write-on areas to label each port for future reference and easy troubleshooting.

What to consider before purchase
