Patch panel MetzConnect BTR 130B11P0-E, RJ-45 connectors, rack-mount, grey

The MetzConnect BTR 130B11P0-E patch panel with RJ-45 connectors is a rack-mount module designed for structured termination and organization of Ethernet cabling in server rooms, network cabinets and data centers. Its grey finish and standard 19-inch rack compatibility provide a compact and accessible mounting solution for voice and data networks, allowing consolidated port access and orderly cable runs.

Advantages

The patch panel offers a centralized termination point for multiple Ethernet lines, simplifying cable tracing and maintenance. Its rack-mount design saves space in equipment racks and ensures consistent alignment with other 19-inch components. RJ-45 connectorization supports common twisted-pair network wiring, facilitating integration with patch cords and network devices. The panel’s durable construction and neutral colour help maintain a professional and uniform rack appearance.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centres where organized cable management is required
• Network cabinets and closets in office and commercial environments
• Voice and Ethernet data networks using RJ-45 terminations
• Patch panels installations that require standard 19-inch rack mounting

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 female ports suitable for twisted-pair Ethernet cabling
• Mounting: Rack-mount compatible with standard 19-inch equipment racks
• Colour: Grey finish for neutral rack integration
• Application: Structured cabling for voice and data networks
• Form factor: Panel designed to consolidate multiple network ports in a single unit

How to use

Install the panel into a 19-inch rack using the provided mounting points and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Terminate incoming twisted-pair cables to the rear of the RJ-45 connectors following the chosen wiring standard (for example T568A or T568B). Route patch cords from active network equipment to the front RJ-45 ports for quick access and flexibility. Label ports as needed to simplify identification and future maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Ensure proper cable management with horizontal and vertical cable organizers to reduce strain on connectors. When terminating cables, use a compatible punch-down or termination tool and verify connections with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and correct wiring. Follow rack clearance and airflow practices to maintain equipment accessibility and cooling.
