Descriptions
A "19" 2U 48 port UTP CAT5E RJ45 network patch panel" is a type of network equipment commonly used in structured cabling systems.
Here's a breakdown of its components and specifications:
19": This refers to the width of the patch panel, which is designed to fit into a standard 19-inch equipment rack or cabinet. The 19-inch width is a standard size for networking and telecommunications equipment, allowing for easy integration into standard rack-mount installations.
2U: "2U" stands for "2 rack units," which is a standard unit of measurement for the vertical space in a rack-mounted equipment enclosure. Each rack unit is equal to 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in height. Therefore, a "2U" patch panel occupies 3.5 inches (88.9 mm) of vertical space within the rack.
48 Port: This indicates the number of ports or connections available on the patch panel. In this case, the patch panel has 48 ports, providing connectivity for up to 48 network devices or connections.
UTP CAT5E: "UTP" stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair, which describes the type of cable the patch panel is designed to support. "CAT5E" refers to Category 5e, which is a standard defined by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) for twisted pair cables. CAT5E cables are capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 1 Gbps and are commonly used in Ethernet networks.
RJ45: This indicates the type of connector used on the patch panel. RJ45 connectors are commonly used in Ethernet networks for connecting network devices to the network infrastructure. Each port on the patch panel is equipped with an RJ45 jack for connecting network cables.
In summary, a "19" 2U 48 port UTP CAT5E RJ45 network patch panel" is a rack-mounted networking device designed to provide termination points for up to 48 CAT5E UTP cables. It allows for easy organization, management, and connectivity of network cables in structured cabling systems, making it an essential component of network infrastructure.
Main Features
The main feature of a 19" 2U 48 port UTP CAT5E RJ45 network patch panel is its ability to organize and manage up to 48 Ethernet connections in a standard 19-inch rack mount configuration.
Here are the key features:
19-Inch Rack Mountable: Fits standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets, which is a common size for data center equipment.
2U Height: Occupies 2 rack units (U) of space in a rack. One rack unit is 1.75 inches in height, so 2U is 3.5 inches.
48 Ports: Provides 48 RJ45 ports for Ethernet connections, allowing for a high density of network connections in a compact space.
CAT5E Compatibility: Designed for CAT5E (Category 5e) cabling, supporting data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps and is suitable for most standard networking environments.
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP): Uses UTP cabling, which is commonly used in networking due to its balance of performance and cost-effectiveness.
RJ45 Connectors: Standard connectors for Ethernet cables, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices.
Cable Management: Often includes features or accessories for managing and organizing cables to ensure neat and efficient cabling infrastructure.
Labeling and Identification: Typically includes spaces for labeling each port, making it easier to identify and manage connections.
This type of patch panel is commonly used in data centers, server rooms, and other networked environments to facilitate structured cabling and simplify the management of network connections.
