Rittal 19" Patch Panel 2U with high-strength metal brackets 120 x 60 mm, light gray (7996.626)

The Rittal 19" Patch Panel 2U with high-strength metal brackets 120 x 60 mm in light gray is a rack-mounted management panel designed for organizing cabling, connectors and small components inside 19-inch server and network racks. With a 2U height and robust metal bracket support, it provides a stable mounting surface for structured cabling, patch leads and small modules while keeping rack interiors tidy and accessible.

Advantages

This 2U patch panel combines a compact footprint with durable high-strength metal brackets sized 120 x 60 mm, providing reliable support for mounted components and cable runs. The light gray finish offers neutral visual integration with standard rack equipment. The panel is engineered to facilitate organized cable routing and orderly placement of connectors, reducing strain on cables and improving serviceability of rack-mounted systems.

Suitable for

• Mounting and organizing network patch leads and small cable modules in 19" server and network racks
• Providing a secure support point for cable management hardware and small components
• Environments where a compact 2U management panel with robust bracket support is required

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for organization and support of cabling and small components; it does not provide active networking functionality such as switching or patching electronics. It may not be suitable when a fully populated, blanked or populated patch panel with integrated ports or labeling fields is required. If larger or specialized cable management accessories are needed, a panel with different bracket dimensions or additional mounting features might be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Rack compatibility: 19-inch racks
• Height: 2U
• Bracket material: high-strength metal
• Bracket dimensions: 120 x 60 mm
• Finish color: light gray
• Function: passive patch/management panel for cable and component organization

How to use

Install the panel in a compatible 19" rack by aligning the mounting holes with the rack’s vertical rails and securing it with appropriate rack screws or cage nuts. Mount cables, connectors or small modules onto the metal brackets as required, routing patch leads through the panel to maintain orderly cable paths and reduce bend radius stress. Use additional cable ties or management accessories where necessary to secure bundles and label connections for easier identification and maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your 19" rack mounting pattern and available 2U space
• Verify that the 120 x 60 mm bracket size suits the components you plan to mount
• Consider required accessories such as rack screws, cage nuts, cable ties or additional management panels

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan cable routing before installation, use appropriate fasteners for your rack type, and combine the panel with complementary cable management accessories to maintain clear airflow and facilitate maintenance of rack-mounted equipment.
