EFB Elektronik 37588SW.1 patch panel

The EFB Elektronik 37588SW.1 is a 1U rack-mounted patch panel designed for RJ-45 terminations and organized cabling in equipment racks. It provides a compact, standardized front profile with a width of 482.6 mm and a height of 44.5 mm, accommodating up to 25 ports and supporting Category 3 cabling. The panel accepts AWG wire sizes 26 to 22, offering straightforward termination for voice and legacy data circuits where Cat3 performance is sufficient.

Advantages

This patch panel presents a space-efficient 1U form factor suitable for standard 19-inch racks and enclosures. Its RJ-45 port layout allows systematic cable routing and labeling, simplifying installation and maintenance. Compatibility with AWG 26–22 conductors ensures flexible termination options for commonly used copper wiring. The steel chassis and consistent rack width provide stable mounting and integration with existing rack systems.

Suitable for

• Voice and telephone systems using Cat3 cabling
• Legacy network segments that do not require Cat5e/Cat6 performance
• Small office or lab racks needing a compact 25-port RJ-45 patch solution
• Environments where clear port organization and cable management are needed

Key specifications

How to use

Install the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack occupying a single U of rack space and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Terminate individual RJ-45 connectors or punch down Cat3 cables onto the panel according to the wiring scheme required by your installation. Label ports clearly to reflect connected devices or cable destinations to simplify identification. Route and secure cables with cable ties or cable management accessories to maintain order and avoid strain on terminations.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the panel with Cat3-rated cabling and ensure AWG conductor sizes fall within the supported range (26–22). Keep cable runs and terminations neat, avoid sharp bends near terminations, and verify connections with appropriate testing tools for continuity and wiring correctness after installation.
