48-Port Cat6 Patch Panel

The Tripp Lite N252-048 is a 2U rackmount patch panel designed for structured cabling in 19-inch server racks. It provides 48 RJ45 ports on the front for patch cord connections and 110-type punchdown terminals on the rear for solid cable termination. Network administrators and installers use it to organise and manage horizontal cable runs in data centres and wiring closets.

110-Type Punchdown Termination

The panel uses 110-type insulation displacement connectors for rear termination, requiring a compatible punchdown tool to seat solid conductors. This method creates a gas-tight connection that meets Category 6 performance specifications for high-speed Ethernet. Installers who prefer toolless keystone jacks or RJ45 crimp connectors will need a different panel style.

19-Inch Rackmount 2U Form Factor

The unit occupies 2U (3.50 inches) of vertical rack space and conforms to EIA/TIA 2/32 mounting hole spacing for standard 19-inch racks. Numbered ports on both front and rear plus writable labels on the front simplify cable identification and documentation. Colour-coded wiring labels on the rear support both 568A and 568B pinouts for flexible installation standards.

Questions about this item

What does the 48-port count mean when the panel is installed in a rack?

It provides 48 individual RJ45 connections on the front and 48 110-type punchdown terminals on the rear, allowing up to 48 separate cable runs to be terminated in a single 2U space.

How does the EIA/TIA 2/32 spacing affect mounting in a standard rack?

The 2/32 spacing matches standard 19-inch rack hole patterns, so the panel aligns with universal mounting rails without needing adapter brackets.

What depth clearance is required behind the 2U panel for punchdown work?

The panel is 3.50 inches high (2U) and designed for 19-inch racks; allow enough rear access to terminate 110-type connections on all 48 ports comfortably.
