Category 5e Patch Panels are designed to exceed ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 component, permanent link and channel performance specifica-tions providing usable bandwidth beyond 155 MHz. These high-density panels are available in 12- through 48-port versions and fea-ture enhanced front and rear labeling features for easy circuit identification. Category 5e panels support both T568A and T568B wir-ing schemes using an easy-to-read color-coded wiring label.

Panels are constructed for maximum strength and durability and feature a fully enclosed, modular design, which provides flexibility and protection of printed circuitry during termination. Rear termination is made quick and easy using a 4-pair inline 110-type connec-tor compatible with standard multipair impact tool to reduce installation time or single-position 110 termination tool.

Panels include an integrated cable management feature for cable routing and strain relief requirements. An optional cable manage-ment bar, which mounts easily to the back of the panel, is available for improved cable routing and strain relief.
