Patch Panel Telegärtner MPP24-HS Cat.5e

The Telegärtner MPP24-HS Cat.5e patch panel is a 24-port rack-mount device with RJ-45 connectors designed for structured cabling in networks that use Category 5e cabling. With a standard 19-inch width (482.6 mm) and a slim 44 mm height (1U), the white panel provides a compact and organized interface between horizontal cabling and active network equipment. It is intended to centralize connections, simplify cable management and offer consistent copper terminations for small to medium Ethernet installations.

Advantages

The panel delivers reliable Cat5e performance for voice and data applications and supports 24 RJ-45 ports in a single 1U rack space. Its standardized form factor and fixed front ports make it easy to install in server racks and wiring cabinets while keeping patch cords accessible. The white finish aids visual identification in mixed hardware setups, and the solid construction ensures stable mechanical mounting and consistent contact quality over repeated terminations.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office networks requiring Cat5e connectivity
• Patch bay installation in server rooms and wiring closets
• Structured cabling projects for voice, data and PoE up to Cat5e performance
• Retrofit or expansion of existing 19-inch rack systems

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 RJ-45 ports
• Cable category support: Cat5e (100BASE-TX, Gigabit Ethernet over Cat5e where applicable)
• Rack width: 482.6 mm (19-inch compatible)
• Height: 44 mm (1U)
• Front color: white
• Mounting: fixed 1U rack-mount design
• Connector type: shielded/unshielded RJ-45 compatible (depending on cabling)

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet occupying 1U of vertical space. Terminate horizontal Cat5e cables to the rear IDC or punch-down points following the T568A or T568B wiring scheme, ensuring consistent wiring at both ends. Use the front RJ-45 ports to connect patch cords from switches, routers or other active network devices. Label ports as required to maintain clear documentation and simplify future moves, adds or changes.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain proper cable routing and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on terminated cables. Use quality Cat5e patch cords and keep patch cord lengths as short as practical to reduce signal loss. Verify wiring and continuity with a network cable tester after installation and consider color-coded labeling to streamline management in multi-cabinet setups.
