The N254-024-SH-D 24-Port 1U Rack-Mount STP Shielded Cat5e/6 Feedthrough Patch Panel features RJ45 ports that point downward at a 90-degree angle to ease cable installation in hard-to-reach places. It meets or exceeds Cat6 specifications and works with USOC, T568A and T568B wiring to comply with industry standards. It’s ideal for MDFs (main distribution frames) and IDFs (intermediate distribution frames) where quick patching changes are necessary. Made from heavy-duty 14ga cold-rolled steel, the N254-024-SH-D manages and organizes the cabling in your high-density network with no 110 punchdown termination required. Just plug your Cat5e/6 cables into the 24 fully shielded RJ45 coupler jacks on both sides of the panel. Ports are clearly numbered to help you identify connections. Mounts easily into 1U of an EIA-standard 19-inch rack. Grounding wire included. Compliant with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule purchases.
