VALUE patchpanel Cat.5e, 19 inch, 24 port, UTP, fekete

The VALUE Cat.5e 19" Patch Panel 24 Ports UTP Black provides a structured and space-efficient way to terminate and manage horizontal network cabling in standard 19-inch racks. Designed for Category 5e performance, the patch panel supports unshielded twisted pair (UTP) connections across 24 RJ45 ports, enabling orderly cable routing, simplified moves/adds/changes, and clear identification of network links. Its black finish and 1U form factor make it suitable for small to medium-sized network cabinets and server rooms where reliable copper connectivity is required.

Advantages

The patch panel offers a compact 1U design that saves rack space while delivering consistent Cat5e electrical performance for voice and data applications. Tool-friendly punch-down termination points simplify installation and reduce wiring errors. The durable metal housing and professional finish provide mechanical protection for terminations and a uniform appearance in network racks. Centralizing terminations on this patch panel helps maintain signal integrity and makes troubleshooting faster.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business LAN installations
• Office network cabling distribution and consolidation points
• Patch cabling between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Structured cabling panels in comms cabinets and server rooms

How to use

Plan the cabling layout and label each cable before termination. Secure the patch panel to a 19" rack occupying one unit of rack space. Strip the outer jacket of each cable to expose individual pairs, then terminate each conductor into the corresponding punch-down IDC footprint using an appropriate punch-down tool. Verify pair order according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B) and ensure terminations are fully seated. Route patch cords to network equipment by plugging RJ45 connectors into the front ports and use labeling on the panel to document connections for maintenance.

Recommendations

For best results, maintain proper cable bend radius, avoid running UTP cables near sources of electrical interference, and use color-coded patch cords or clear labeling to simplify management. Test each link with a cable tester to confirm continuity and performance after installation.
