LogiLink NP0004 19-inch CAT6 24-Port Patch Panel with RJ45 Unshielded Black Design

The LogiLink NP0004 19-inch CAT6 24-Port Patch Panel is designed for efficient network installations, providing a reliable infrastructure for structured cabling systems. Featuring 24 unshielded RJ45 ports housed in a durable black metal enclosure, this patch panel facilitates organized cable management and stable data transmission for standard server rooms and office networks. It is built to fit standard 19-inch server racks and enclosures while adhering to established industry networking standards.

Advantages

This patch panel provides a structured and professional way to organize multiple network connections within a single rack unit. The inclusion of clear label fields allows for quick identification of individual ports, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting. Integrated strain relief helps secure incoming cables and reduces physical tension on the termination points, contributing to long-term network reliability and consistent signal performance.

Suitable for

• Organizing network cables in small to medium business office environments
• Setting up structured cabling systems in standard 19-inch server racks
• Connecting local area network equipment using unshielded twisted pair cables

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded patch panel is not recommended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded CAT6A or CAT7 systems are required to maintain signal integrity. It is also unsuitable for installations exceeding the physical dimensions of standard 19-inch server racks or for non-rackmounted standalone deployments.

Key specifications

• 24 unshielded RJ45 ports
• CAT6 Class E performance
• Designed for 19-inch rack mounting taking up 1U height
• Compatible with AWG22-26 solid or stranded wire
• LSA termination supporting EIA/TIA 568 A and B color coding
• Color: Black RAL 9005

How to use

To install the patch panel, securely mount the unit into a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet using appropriate hardware occupying 1U of vertical space. Prepare your network cables by stripping the outer jacket and routing the individual conductors to the corresponding LSA termination strips on the rear of the panel, following the color codes for EIA/TIA 568 A or B standards. Use an LSA punch-down tool to properly seat and trim each wire into the insulation displacement contacts. Secure the cables using the integrated strain relief features to prevent movement, and utilize the front label fields to mark each port for easy future identification.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your existing rack or enclosure has 19-inch mounting compatibility and 1U of available space
• Verify that your network infrastructure utilizes unshielded twisted pair cabling matching CAT6 specifications
• Confirm that you have an LSA punch-down tool available for proper wire termination

For optimal network performance, ensure proper cable management behind the rack and maintain the correct twist density of wire pairs as close to the LSA terminals as possible during installation.
