12-Port Cat6 Patch Panel

This 12-port Cat6 patch panel is designed for network administrators who need organised copper termination in a standard rack. It accepts 110-type punch-down connections on the rear and presents 12 RJ45 female ports on the front. The panel mounts in a 19-inch rack using only 1U of space. It suits small office or departmental installs where port density is modest.

568B Wiring Standard

The panel follows the TIA/EIA 568B pin-out, which is the single specification that determines compatibility with existing patch cords and wall outlets. Every port is clearly numbered on both front and rear faces, and front labels allow each connection to be named for easier troubleshooting. The metal frame and UL approval support compliance requirements in commercial environments.

Rack-Mount Integration

The unit occupies 1.75 inches of vertical rack space and uses EIA/TIA 2/32 hole spacing, so it fits standard 19-inch cabinets without adapter brackets. It terminates solid or stranded Category 6 or Category 5 cable with a 110 punch-down tool, freeing the installer from specialised termination gear. Buyers who need higher port counts or fibre termination will require a different panel.

Questions about this item

How does the 12-port count translate to daily use in a rack?

The panel provides twelve RJ45 jacks on the front for patch cables and twelve 110 punch-down positions on the rear for solid cable termination, so each active drop uses one port.

What does the 568B wiring standard mean for termination?

The colour-coded IDC blocks follow the T568B pinout, so you punch each pair to the matching colour and the panel is compliant with standard Ethernet wiring schemes.

What rack dimensions are needed to mount this 1U panel?

It fits a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet and occupies exactly 1.75 inches of vertical space, with EIA/TIA 2/32 hole spacing for the mounting screws.
