Patch panel 24‑port Cat5E STP with 110 punch block, LYNX CS LX24S-C5E-BK

LYNX CS LX24S-C5E-BK is a 24‑port Cat5E STP patch panel with a 110 punch block termination designed for rack‑mounted network installations. Intended for shielded twisted‑pair copper cabling, this patch panel centralises terminations for Ethernet networks and structured cabling systems in offices, data cabinets and telecom closets. The panel supports organised routing of Cat5E connections and provides stable, compact management of multiple network links at a single distribution point.

Advantages

The patch panel offers a standard 24‑port layout enabling neat labelling and reduced cable clutter. The integrated 110 punch block simplifies field termination and maintenance without the need for specialized keystone modules. Being built for STP cabling, it helps maintain shielding continuity and reduces electromagnetic interference when used with compatible shielded cables and connectors. The metal front and rack‑mount form factor ensure robust installation in 19‑inch racks and network cabinets.

Suitable for

• Office LAN distribution and horizontal cabling consolidation
• Server rooms and data cabinets requiring centralised copper terminations
• Telecom closets and patching points for structured cabling
• Small and medium business networks using Cat5E STP cabling

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 RJ45 ports for Cat5E STP connections
• Termination type: 110 punch block for copper pairs
• Cabling standard: Category 5e (Cat5E) shielded twisted pair (STP)
• Form factor: 19‑inch rack mountable panel
• Construction: metal front panel designed for durability in rack installations

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a 19‑inch rack or cabinet using the provided mounting holes and appropriate rack screws. Route shielded Cat5E cables from horizontal runs to the rear of the panel, separate the twisted pairs and terminate each pair on the appropriate pair positions of the 110 punch block following standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B). Ensure the cable shield is properly connected to the panel’s grounding point to preserve shielding continuity. After termination, label each port on the front panel and connect patch cords between the front RJ45 ports and networking equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use only compatible shielded Cat5E patch cords and maintain a consistent wiring standard across the installation. Verify grounding of the shield at a single point to avoid ground loops. Regularly check terminations for secure connections and use cable management accessories to avoid excessive bend radii and strain on the punched connections.
