Network patch panel 19"

Patch Panel 19 Inch

Installation of multiple network devices is a simple process. However, it's necessary to optimize it so that patch cords don't get tangled, hindering convenient switching between devices, troubleshooting mechanical issues, or quick access to specific equipment.

This issue can be resolved with a small device - a patch panel. Such an organization system helps efficiently optimize space, especially for those actively working with digital equipment in a small area.

Features of the Device

The patch panel has a simple design: a frame with lines for ports used to connect cables. On the back wall of the case are IDC connectors.

Since the patch panel is a device for space and workflow optimization, it's important to mark the necessary ports for comfortable reconnection. Most models have numbering, standard colors, or paper stickers for user-added notes.

Variety of Devices

Depending on the type of patch panel, its cost, technical characteristics, and capabilities are determined. Devices can be conditionally divided into several categories by:

Connector Type:
Depending on this characteristic, users can connect equipment to computer or telephone networks. Models may also have shielded (FTP) and unshielded (UTP) ports.

Mounting Type:
Patch panels come in a standard 19-inch size, making them mountable in any server cabinet or rack.

Number of Ports:
The device can include from 16 to 50 ports. We offer users to purchase 24-port and 48-port patch panels to solve various tasks.

Connector Configuration:
Patch panels may include ports of only one type, such as RJ45 or RJ12, or users can opt for Modular Patch Panels - offering the ability to connect different types of modules. This is marked directly on the housing using color and/or code names.

Construction Type:
Patch panels come in two types of constructions: with or without a rear organizer - the difference lies in the convenience of module termination (vertical or horizontal).
Patch panel heights are 1U, 2U, 0.5U.
The speed of 19” patch panels varies! It all depends on the cable you will be inserting into the patch panel. If using cat.5e, choose a similar panel! Cat.6 (cat.6a) patch panels have speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

How to Choose?

Before purchasing a patch panel, it's necessary to determine what tasks it should perform. It's also recommended to pay attention to the country of manufacture. For home use with low loads, Chinese or Taiwanese models are popular options.
