Product Identity

The Intellinet 720861 is a 24-port Cat6a shielded patch panel built for 19-inch rackmount installations. It targets network administrators and installers who need structured cabling for FTP copper infrastructure in data centres, offices or industrial sites.

Upgrade Context

It replaces older unshielded or lower-category panels when electromagnetic interference threatens signal integrity or when Cat6a performance is required. The jump is worth it when existing cabling uses 22 to 24 AWG solid or stranded conductors and the installer prefers Krone-compatible punch-down tools for faster termination.

Build Fit

The 1U form factor with 90-degree top-entry blocks fits standard racks and keeps cable routing tidy above the panel. Gold-plated contacts rated at three microns ensure durable connections while the FTP shielding handles noisy environments, freeing the builder from additional EMI mitigation hardware.

Questions about this item

What rack width and height does the 720861 patch panel occupy?

The panel conforms to 19-inch rackmount standards and fits in a single 1U space, with 90-degree top-entry punch-down blocks facing upward.

Which punch-down tool works with the Krone-style IDC blocks on this panel?

Any standard Krone punch-down tool seats wires into the IDC contacts; the top-entry layout lets you terminate each pair without removing the panel from the rack.

What ongoing care do the gold-plated jack contacts require?

The 3-micron gold plating resists oxidation, so no routine cleaning is needed; simply reseat any patch cord that shows intermittent connectivity.
