Patch Panel Netrack 104-13 0.5U

The Netrack 104-13 0.5U patch panel is a compact rack-mounted solution designed to terminate and organize up to 24 network connections. Built for use with S/FTP shielded cabling, the panel has a slim 0.5U height and a black finish that integrates into server racks and network cabinets while supporting high-performance data transmission. Its layout facilitates neat cable routing and centralized network port management in constrained rack spaces.

Advantages

This patch panel provides a space-saving 0.5U form factor suitable for dense rack installations while maintaining support for S/FTP cable shielding. The 24-port configuration enables orderly consolidation of horizontal cabling runs and simplifies moves, adds, and changes. The black housing offers a discreet visual profile in server rooms and the standardized RJ45 port arrangement ensures compatibility with common network infrastructure components.

Suitable for

• Small to medium server racks where rack space is limited
• Network closets and distribution frames using S/FTP shielded cabling
• Structured cabling installations requiring centralized patching of 24 ports
• Environments needing clean cable management and easy port identification

Key specifications

• Form factor: 0.5U rack-mounted panel
• Number of ports: 24 RJ45 ports
• Cable type supported: S/FTP shielded twisted pair cabling
• Color: black
• Intended use: horizontal patching and port consolidation in network racks

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack using the appropriate screws and cage nuts for a 0.5U position. Terminate each S/FTP cable onto the rear of the panel following the T568A or T568B wiring scheme used in the installation, ensuring proper shielding continuity and secure RJ45 connections at the front. Label ports as required for identification, and route patch cords from active equipment to the front ports to establish connections. Verify link integrity with network testers after termination and before placing the panel into production.

Usage recommendations

Maintain shielding continuity by properly grounding cable shields and using compatible connectors; avoid sharp bends near terminations and allow service space above and below the 0.5U panel for trunking and patch cord access. Regularly inspect terminations and labeling to support ongoing network management and troubleshooting.
