equip 327425 — 24-Port Cat 5e Shielded Patch Panel, 19" 1U, Black
The equip 327425 is a 24-port Cat 5e shielded 19-inch 1U patch panel in black (RAL 9005). It mounts in a 19-inch rack or cabinet and takes up 1U. Installation cable is punched down on the back with an LSA or 110 punch-down tool, and the 24 RJ45 sockets on the front take ordinary patch cords, rated for Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T). In practice it gives the cables coming from wall outlets and ceilings a fixed, labelled end point next to your switch, so that moves and changes are made with short patch cords at the panel instead of re-terminating installation cable. When the network grows, you add a panel and a few patch cords rather than pulling new cable to every desk, and a clearly numbered panel makes it quick to find which outlet a fault or a new device is on.
