Patch panel enables maximum airflow
Brand-Rex
Cat6plus patch panel
Brand-Rex has launched a 1/2U patch panel supporting 24 ports and delivering true Category 6 (Cat6) performance.
Enabling 48 terminations in just a single U height, the Brand-Rex Cat6plus patch panel addresses customer requirements for improved port density in smaller enclosure deployments, where maximum airflow is essential.
Lighter, shorter and narrower than conventional patch panels, the Cat6plus patch panel is suitable for small telecom enclosures, server cabinets and any project with space restrictions.
Tested to component level to offer Cat6 performance, the patch panel is also backwards compatible with Cat5e.
Featuring a contact pin array design, together with a conventional termination method to afford installers maximum punch down accessibility for wire termination, the latest Brand-Rex Cat6 1/2U patch panel is easy to install and manage, and allows users to accommodate a third set of cabling in the cabinet if required.
Fitted with LSA punch down blocks as standard, all ports are identified numerically for both TIA 568B 'A wired' and 'B wired' applications, while a writable surface allows additional port labelling.
The patch panel also features integral rear cable management, which ensures optimum link performance and provides easy routing and strain relief of installed high-performance cabling.
Available in screened and unscreened versions, the screened 1/2U patch panel incorporates new mounting clips for optimum earthing of the link, while each version is supplied with cable ties, panel mounting accessories and installation instructions.
