Patch panel SecurityNET CCAS-PA6-24UTP-O 24‑port Cat6 UTP 1U rack mount

SecurityNET CCAS-PA6-24UTP-O is a 1U rack-mount patch panel that provides 24 Cat6 UTP ports for structured cabling installations. It is engineered to terminate horizontal network cables in server rooms, telecom cabinets and wiring closets, offering a compact footprint that fits standard 19-inch racks. The panel organizes connections and improves access to network endpoints while maintaining compatibility with Cat6 twisted-pair cabling.

Advantages

The 24-port Cat6 UTP layout delivers consistent channel density in a single 1U space, helping reduce rack clutter and centralize connections. The panel's termination scheme and labels simplify identification and maintenance of individual lines. Designed for tool-assisted punch-down termination, it supports reliable electrical contact and minimizes signal degradation when used with quality Cat6 cables. Durable metal construction ensures stable rack mounting and long service life in typical IT environments.

Suitable for

• Enterprise and small business network patching in 19-inch racks
• Data center horizontal cable termination and organization
• Telecommunications rooms and wiring closets
• Upgrading or expanding Cat5e installations to Cat6 performance

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 RJ45 ports
• Cabling standard: Cat6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Form factor: 1U, compatible with 19-inch racks
• Termination type: punch-down IDC contacts for twisted-pair cables
• Material: metal housing for rack stability
• Mounting: front-mount rack panels with screw attachment points

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack occupying one rack unit. Route horizontal Cat6 UTP cables from work areas or network outlets to the rear termination area. Use a compatible punch-down tool to terminate each cable pair into the IDC contacts according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Label each port after termination to match floor plans or documentation, then connect patch cords from the front RJ45 ports to network switches or other active equipment.

Usage recommendations

Maintain proper cable bend radius and avoid tight staples or bends within the horizontal runs. Use color-coded labels or cable management accessories to keep patching orderly. Verify continuity and performance with cable certification or network testers after installation to ensure Cat6 performance.
