Patch Panel 1U 16-Port Shielded, LOGILINK NK4077, black, with 3 cable management rings

LOGILINK NK4077 is a 1U, 16-port shielded keystone patch panel in black designed to accept up to sixteen keystone modules. Built for standard 19" racks, this patch panel provides a stable, rack-mountable termination point for Ethernet and other keystone-compatible connectors. The integrated shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference, while the included three cable management rings facilitate neat cable routing and strain relief in network cabinets and server racks.

Advantages

The patch panel offers a compact 1U form factor that saves rack space while supporting up to 16 keystone modules for flexible port configuration. Shielded construction improves protection against EMI for copper connections, and the black finish fits common rack aesthetics. Three attached cable management rings help maintain organized cabling and reduce connector stress, simplifying installation and maintenance in server rooms and communication closets.

Suitable for

• Small to medium-sized network racks requiring a 16-port termination point
• Installations using keystone-style jacks for Ethernet, HDMI, USB or voice connectors
• Environments where additional shielding is needed to limit electromagnetic interference
• Racks where organized cable routing and strain relief are required

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is designed specifically for keystone modules and does not include pre-loaded RJ45 jacks or other connectors, so additional keystone components must be purchased separately. It may not be appropriate for installations requiring more than 16 ports per 1U or for environments that need integrated patch cord management beyond the three included rings.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U, 19" rack-mountable panel
• Port capacity: 16 keystone ports
• Construction: shielded metal housing
• Finish: black (RAL9005)
• Cable management: 3 integrated cable management rings

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack using compatible screws and cage nuts. Insert keystone modules of your choice into the front openings until they snap into place. Terminate incoming cables to the rear of the installed keystone jacks following the connector manufacturer's wiring scheme. Route patch cords and vertical/horizontal cabling through the attached cable management rings to maintain tidy cable paths and reduce strain on terminations.

What to consider before purchase

• Type of keystone modules you plan to use (Ethernet, HDMI, USB, etc.) and their compatibility
• Required number of ports per 1U and potential need for expansion
• Whether shielded paneling is necessary for your environment to reduce EMI
• Cable management needs and whether three rings provide sufficient routing and strain relief

Usage recommendations

Use shielded keystone jacks and properly grounded rack equipment when deploying shielded patch panels to ensure effective EMI protection. Arrange cables through the included rings immediately after termination to prevent stress on the connections and to simplify future moves, adds, and changes.
