TRENDnet TC-P16C6AS Cat6A Shielded Patch Panel 16-Port 19 Inch 1U 110 IDC 10G with Grounding Wire and Cover Plate
TRENDnet TC-P16C6AS — 16-Port Cat6A Shielded Patch Panel, 19" 1U
The TRENDnet TC-P16C6AS is a 16-port Cat 6A shielded 19-inch 1U patch panel. It mounts in a 19-inch rack or cabinet and takes up 1U. Installation cable is punched down on the back with a 110 or Krone punch-down tool, and the 16 RJ45 sockets on the front take ordinary patch cords, rated for 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-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.
