The Intellinet 24-Port Cat6 Patch Panel is a shielded network connection component designed for use in 48,3 cm ( 19 inch )-racks. It serves as a central interface in the network, enabling flexible and structured management of network cable assignments to end devices or switches. The device is designed for use in industrial and professional environments where high signal integrity and reliability are required. It supports Cat6 network cables and is designed for shielded F/UTP (FTP) cables, ensuring effective shielding against electromagnetic interference. The rack mounting is performed in 1U height, with dimensions of 482 mm (width) × 44 mm (height) × 126 mm (depth). The housing is made of powder-coated, particularly thick steel, providing high mechanical stability and durability.

Applications
This patch panel is ideal for network applications in the fields of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet, complying with the standards IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3ab. It is used in server rooms, data centers, office and industrial facilities where a structured and maintainable network infrastructure is required. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C makes it suitable for demanding environments where high or low temperatures may occur.

Functions and Features in Detail
The 24 connections are equipped with RJ-45 connectors and support Gigabit Ethernet as well as Fast Ethernet. The contacts are plated with 0.75 μm gold, ensuring a corrosion-free and reliable connection. The terminal strips feature 90-degree angled cable entries, facilitating easy and orderly installation of network cables. The panel is compatible with Krone LSA+ installation tools, simplifying the installation of stranded and solid wire cables in the 22 to 26 AWG range.

Technology Explained Simply
The use of F/UTP (FTP) cables ensures optimal shielding, minimizing interference from adjacent lines or electrical devices. The gold plating of the contacts prevents oxidation and ensures a stable electrical connection throughout the product’s lifetime. The 1U rack mounting allows for compact placement in standard 48,3 cm ( 19 inch )-racks, with mounting holes spaced 465 mm horizontally and 31 mm vertically. Earthing is achieved via an included earthing cable, establishing a secure electrical connection to the rack’s protective earth conductor.

Compatibility and Accessories
The patch panel is specifically designed for shielded Cat6 network cables and supports the use of stranded and solid wire cables in the AWG range 22 to 26. It is compatible with Krone LSA+ tools, simplifying installation in existing infrastructures. Connections are made via RJ-45 connectors, certified for the standards IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3ab.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting is performed using the included 4 mounting screws in a 48,3 cm ( 19 inch )-rack. The 90-degree angled cable entries facilitate cable insertion from above, ensuring orderly and structured cabling. The installation instructions are included as a quick guide in the delivery package.

Operational Advantages
Thanks to its robust construction from powder-coated steel and gold-plated contacts, the patch panel offers high durability and reliability. The integrated earthing and F/UTP shielding ensure stable signal transmission, even in interference-sensitive environments. The clear structuring of the 24 ports enables quick identification and maintenance of network connections. The certifications CE, RoHS, and UL confirm compliance with European and international safety and environmental standards.

The device is finished in black and weighs 2.16 kg. The operating temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C allows use in a wide variety of environments, from air-conditioned rooms to industrial production halls. The delivery includes the patch panel, 4 mounting screws, an earthing cable, and a quick guide.
