48-Port Cat6 Patch Panel

This 2U rackmount panel provides 48 RJ45 ports for Cat6 UTP cabling. It fits standard 19in server racks and supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet speeds. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission. The steel housing with black powder coat offers durability in network environments.

Network Installers and Rack Builders

Technicians terminating solid copper cable will benefit from the colour-coded 110 punch-down blocks. Numbered ports simplify cable management and future troubleshooting. Installers needing keystone-style modular jacks should look at a different panel style. Buyers requiring shielded Cat6A performance need a panel rated for that specification.

ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 Compliance

The panel meets the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Category 6 standard for component performance. This certification confirms it supports Gigabit Ethernet across all 48 ports when terminated correctly. Verify your cable and installation practices match the standard to achieve rated throughput. Without this compliance the panel cannot guarantee Cat6 channel performance.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 48-port 2U Cat6 panel or a smaller version for my rack?

The CPANEL48 provides 48 RJ45 ports in a 2U black steel housing that fits standard 19in racks, so choose it when you need that density in a single unit.

What does the 10/100/1000 Ethernet rating mean once the panel is punched down and live?

It confirms each port supports gigabit speeds over Cat6 UTP when terminated to the ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 Cat6 standard with gold-plated contacts.

Does the 110 punch-down interface limit the wiring scheme or cable type I can use?

The color-coded 110 blocks accept both T568A and T568B wiring on Cat6 UTP, so you can follow either standard without changing hardware.
