EFB Elektronik 37588.1 patch panel

The EFB Elektronik 37588.1 patch panel is a 1U rack-mounted panel for organizing unshielded RJ45 connections. It supports Category 3 cabling and provides 25 ports in a compact white 483 x 44.5 mm housing, offering high packing density and strain relief via cable ties for tidy cable management.

Advantages

This patch panel offers a high port density in a 1U format and uses 4-pole LSA IDC terminals for reliable termination of unshielded RJ45 8(4) jacks. The panel's assignment (3-6 / 4-5) matches legacy Cat3 wiring schemes. Its white finish and standard 483 mm width allow integration into typical server racks while cable tie strain relief helps maintain organized cable runs.

Suitable for

• Organising Cat3 telephone and low-speed data lines in rack cabinets
• Small office and legacy network infrastructure requiring unshielded RJ45 terminations
• Environments where a compact 1U solution with 25 ports is needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mounted panel
• Cable category: Category 3 (Cat3)
• Connector type: Unshielded RJ45 8(4) jacks
• Termination: 4-pole LSA IDC terminals
• Assignment: 3-6 / 4-5
• Ports quantity: 25
• Product colour: White
• Dimensions (W x H): 483 mm x 44.5 mm

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of space. Terminate Cat3 cables to the 4-pole LSA IDC terminals according to the 3-6 / 4-5 assignment, and insert the unshielded RJ45 connectors into the front jacks. Use cable ties through the provided strain relief points to secure cable bundles and prevent stress on the terminations.

Recommendations

Use this panel for voice and low-speed data applications compatible with Cat3. Avoid deploying it for high-speed Ethernet (Cat5e/Cat6) networks. Ensure correct pairing and follow structured cabling practices when terminating to the LSA IDC to maintain connection reliability.
