Advantages

This patch panel features a robust and high-quality metal housing that offers shielded slots for an excellent and stable connection. It utilizes a tool-free assembly approach with IDC mounting using solderless, screwless, and stripping-free connection technology for efficient installation. The numbered ports combined with terminal strips featuring color coding according to TIA 568 A/B ensure clean cable management and a correct, straightforward connection process. Additionally, the housing includes an easy-open function that allows opening without screws and tools, while the package includes fixing screws suitable for mounting on walls and desktops.

Suitable for

• Organizing structured cabling systems in office environments and data centers
• Professional cable management in rack enclosures
• Connecting terminated CAT 6 network cables securely
• Desktop and wall-mounted networking setups

When it may not be suitable

This network patch panel may not be suitable for unshielded network infrastructures where Cat6 S/UTP specifications are unnecessary or incompatible. It is also not designed for environments requiring a port density higher than 12 ports per panel or for installations utilizing cable diameters outside the AWG 22-26 range.

Key specifications

• 12-port patch panel with RJ45 sockets
• Cat6 cable support with S/UTP shielding
• Supports cable diameters up to 0.64 mm and AWG 22-26 wire sizes
• 1U rack capacity
• Durable black metal housing
• Color-coded terminal strips according to TIA 568 A/B
• Dimensions: width 212 mm, height 44 mm, depth 109 mm
• Compliance with CE and WEEE standards

How to use

Mount the patch panel securely onto a wall, desktop, or inside a rack enclosure using the provided fixing screws. Prepare your network cables by matching the conductors to the color-coded terminal strips according to TIA 568 A/B standards. Utilize the tool-free IDC mounting technology for solderless and screwless connection of CAT 6 network cables up to 0.64 mm in diameter. Access the internal components easily using the tool-free opening function of the metal housing to route and organize your Ethernet cables through the numbered ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network infrastructure requires Cat6 S/UTP shielded connections
• Check that the 1U size and 12-port configuration match your network density requirements
• Ensure compatibility with cable diameters between AWG 22 and AWG 26
• Confirm available mounting space on your wall, desktop, or rack enclosure

For optimal network performance, ensure proper grounding of the shielded metal housing and accurately follow the TIA 568 A/B color coding during installation to maintain signal integrity.
