StarTech.com C6PANELSTP241U — 24-Port Blank Keystone Patch Panel with Cable Management Bar, 19" 1U
24 keystone portsRear cable barShielded or UTP jacks19" · 1U
The StarTech.com C6PANELSTP241U is a 24-port blank keystone patch panel for 19-inch racks and cabinets: a 1U black steel frame with numbered ports and a rear cable management bar, for installers who want to choose their own RJ45 keystone jacks.
StarTech.com specifies the openings for standard RJ45 keystone jacks, shielded or unshielded, and lists shielded jacks from Cat5e up to Cat8 as suitable. The rear bar has individual U-shaped guides for each cable plus side slots for cable ties, so the weight of the cables is carried by the panel and not by the jack terminations. It also fits wall-mount enclosures with standard 19-inch rails.
Before you order: Keystone jacks are not included. StarTech.com specifies standard RJ45 keystone jacks but does not list specific brands or models — tell us which jacks you have and we will check them before you order.

What It Means in Practice
- You choose the jacks: Cat6 or Cat6A for a new office, shielded jacks for an STP installation, or a mix in one rack unit.
- The rear bar supports every cable individually, which protects the terminations when the rack is moved or the bundles are heavy.
- For a shielded channel, use shielded jacks and cable and bond the panel to the rack earth point (StarTech.com describes a grounding wire to the rack ground; it is not listed in the package contents, so plan your own if needed).
- Numbered labels on the front make it easier to match ports with wall outlets.
What Will Not Work
- It will not work without keystone jacks — none are included.
- It does not provide shielding with unshielded jacks, unshielded cable or an unbonded panel.
- It is not a pre-loaded punch-down panel.
- It does not fit 10-inch racks.

Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A blank panel with its own rear bar is the practical choice when you terminate Cat6A or shielded runs and want the jacks supported properly. If you only need a few UTP ports, a pre-loaded panel is faster to install. For blanking panels, cable managers and shelves for the same rack, see our
rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you want to fit your own shielded or unshielded RJ45 keystones in a 19" rack and need rear cable support.
✕ Skip it if you want a pre-terminated punch-down panel or you work in a 10" rack.
→ Also consider Shielded Cat6A keystone jacks and a 1U horizontal cable manager.
