Patch Panel LOGILINK 1U 24-Port Shielded Keystone Panel NK4074, black, for 24 keystone modules

LOGILINK 1U 24-Port Shielded Keystone Panel NK4074 is a rack-mount patch panel designed for structured cabling in server rooms and telecom cabinets. The panel occupies one rack unit (1U) in a 19" rack and accepts up to 24 keystone modules, enabling neat termination of network, voice or multimedia connections. Its metal construction with shielding reduces electromagnetic interference in environments with dense cabling and active equipment.

Advantages

The shielded design provides additional protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain signal integrity in mixed-cable installations. The 24-port, 1U layout delivers a standardized and space-efficient solution for patching and organizing keystone jacks. A finished black surface and rack-compatible dimensions allow easy integration into existing 19" cabinets and racks.

Suitable for

• Structured network installations in data centers and server rooms
• Telecom cabinets and wiring closets requiring keystone-based terminations
• Mixed voice, data and multimedia patching using keystone modules
• Installations where shielding is needed to reduce interference

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is intended specifically for keystone-format modules; it is not compatible with fixed RJ45 ports or non-keystone inserts without suitable adapters. It does not include keystone modules, patch cords, or cable management accessories, so additional components are required to build a complete patching solution.

Key specifications

• Rack size: 19"
• Height: 1U
• Number of ports: 24 keystone positions
• Construction: metal shielded housing
• Finish color: black
• Mounting: front-mount for standard 19" racks and cabinets

How to use

Install the panel into a standard 19" rack occupying one unit of height and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Insert compatible keystone modules into the 24 front openings according to the required function (network, voice, multimedia). Terminate the patch panel with the building cabling by punching down or wiring the rear of each keystone module following the keystone module manufacturer's wiring color code. Use appropriate grounding practices to ensure the shielded housing is properly earthed to maintain interference protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you need keystone-format ports rather than fixed RJ45 sockets.
• Plan for separate purchase of keystone modules, patch cords and cable management accessories.
• Ensure your rack or cabinet has at least 1U of free space and compatible mounting hardware.
• Consider grounding requirements for shielded panels in your installation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the shielded patch panel with shielded keystone modules and properly terminated shielded cabling (STP/FTP) and verify continuity of the shield to chassis ground. Label both front ports and associated horizontal cabling to simplify maintenance and changes.
