Patch panel TKH CCAS-PA5E-24UTP-O 1U 19" 24xRJ45 UTP black with shelf

TKH CCAS-PA5E-24UTP-O is a 1U, 19-inch patch panel with 24 RJ45 UTP ports and an integrated shelf in a black housing. Designed for Cat5e structured cabling, the panel provides a centralized termination point for Ethernet links and helps organize horizontal and vertical network runs in server racks, telecom cabinets and network closets. The durable metal construction and standard 1U footprint allow straightforward installation in standard rack frames while the integrated shelf offers space for small tools or cable management accessories during installation and maintenance.

Advantages

The patch panel supports Cat5e performance across 24 RJ45 ports, enabling consolidated cable management and easier port labeling. Its 1U size saves rack space and the integrated shelf improves accessibility for patching and organizing jumper cables. A black, powder-coated finish resists corrosion and provides a uniform appearance in rack installations. The panel simplifies moves, adds and changes by centralizing terminations and reducing cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Wiring termination for Cat5e Ethernet networks in server rooms and data cabinets
• Rack-mounted installations in telecommunications and networking racks
• Organizing patching points in small to medium office networks and wiring closets
• Temporary setups or lab environments where an integrated shelf aids cable management

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U, 19-inch rack mount
• Port count: 24 RJ45 UTP ports
• Cabling standard: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Housing: metal, black powder-coated finish
• Integrated shelf for tools or cable management accessories

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack occupying one rack unit (1U). Terminate horizontal cable runs to the rear IDC or punch-down connectors according to Cat5e wiring schemes (T568A/T568B) and secure cables with strain relief. Use the front RJ45 ports for plugging patch cords to active equipment. Label ports as needed for clear identification and route patch cords along rack cable management accessories to maintain order and airflow.

Usage recommendations

Install the panel in a properly ventilated rack away from sources of moisture or excessive heat. Follow Cat5e installation best practices: maintain proper pair untwist limits at termination points, avoid sharp bends and minimize cable crossing with power lines to reduce interference. Use compatible Cat5e patch cords and appropriate cable ties or Velcro straps to preserve cable integrity and ease future changes.
