EFB Elektronik 37668.1M patch panel

The EFB Elektronik 37668.1M patch panel is a 1U rack-mounted network component engineered for organized cable management and reliable signal distribution. This 24-port panel supports high-speed data transfer up to 2500 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain stable connections and reduce contact corrosion. Its compact dimensions — 483 mm width, 44 mm height and 108 mm depth — make it suitable for standard 19-inch racks while keeping a low profile in server rooms and communication cabinets.

Advantages

The patch panel provides a dense 24-port layout in a 1U form factor, enabling efficient use of rack space. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve electrical conductivity and longevity, contributing to fewer connection issues and lower maintenance needs. The neutral grey finish blends with common rack equipment and helps visually organise cabling. Mechanically, the panel is designed for straightforward mounting and durable operation in typical networking environments.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized business network racks
• Server rooms and communication cabinets
• Structured cabling systems and patching closets
• Temporary installations and event networks where compact rack density matters

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable
• Ports: 24 RJ-45 connectors
• Maximum data rate: 2500 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: grey
• Dimensions (W×H×D): 483 mm × 44 mm × 108 mm

How to use

Install the panel in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting points and appropriate screws. Route patch cords from network devices to the front RJ-45 ports and terminate permanent cabling at the rear according to your structured cabling scheme. Verify link status on connected devices and test individual ports with network testers after installation to confirm connectivity and performance up to the specified data rate.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use quality patch cords and maintain clear cable labeling. Avoid excessive bending of cables near the connectors, and perform periodic inspections of contacts for debris or corrosion. When deploying in high-density racks, plan airflow and cable pathways to reduce mechanical strain on ports and facilitate future changes.
