Patch panel NORDMARK 11324126BL 19" 24-port for CAT5/CAT6 cabling

NORDMARK 11324126BL 19" 24-port patch panel provides a compact and standardized solution for terminating and organizing CAT5 and CAT6 Ethernet cabling in rack-mounted network environments. The panel fits a standard 19-inch rack and offers 24 RJ45 ports on the front for patch cord connections while keeping cable runs neatly routed at the rear. Designed for structured cabling in offices, server rooms and telecommunication closets, this patch panel supports straightforward installation and routine maintenance of horizontal and backbone copper networks.

Advantages

The patch panel enables orderly cable management by consolidating multiple network terminations into a single 1U rack unit, reducing clutter and making identification and reconfiguration easier. Front-facing RJ45 ports allow quick access for patching without disturbing rear cable dress, while the durable metal housing ensures mechanical protection and rack compatibility. The panel is compatible with both CAT5 and CAT6 twisted-pair copper cabling, offering flexibility during upgrades or mixed-cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Office structured cabling and local area networks
• Server rooms and data closets requiring 19-inch rack installations
• Telecommunications wiring closets and distribution frames
• Small to medium enterprise network deployments and patching panels

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch, 1U rack-mountable panel
• Port count: 24 RJ45 ports (front-facing)
• Cabling compatibility: Designed for CAT5 and CAT6 twisted-pair copper cables
• Connector type: Standard 8P8C (RJ45) female connectors
• Material: Metal housing for mechanical strength and grounding
• Termination: Rear cable termination points for feed-through or punch-down
• Color: Black finish for rack uniformity

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack occupying one rack unit (1U). Route horizontal or backbone cables to the rear of the panel and terminate each twisted-pair conductor to the designated rear termination points according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Secure the cable bundle with cable ties or management accessories to maintain bend radius and strain relief. Connect patch cords from the front RJ45 ports to network switches, routers or other active equipment for immediate link establishment and testing.

Usage recommendations

Follow standard cabling best practices: maintain proper pair untwisting limits, respect minimum bend radius, use correct punch-down tools or keystones where applicable, and label ports for straightforward identification. Test each terminated link with a cable tester to confirm continuity and performance consistent with CAT5/CAT6 requirements before placing into production.
