A 19-inch 2U 48-port CAT6 RJ45 UTP network patch panel is a piece of networking hardware commonly used in data centers, server rooms, or telecommunication closets.
Let's break down its components and purpose:
19-inch: This refers to the width of the patch panel. It's designed to fit into a standard 19-inch equipment rack or cabinet commonly used in data center and networking environments.
2U: This indicates the height of the patch panel in rack units (U). One rack unit (1U) is equal to 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in height. So, a 2U patch panel is approximately 3.5 inches (88.9 mm) tall. The height of 2U allows it to occupy two vertical units within a standard rack.
48-port: This specifies the number of ports available on the patch panel. In this case, there are 48 ports, which means the patch panel can accommodate up to 48 individual network connections.
CAT6: This denotes the category of the Ethernet cable supported by the patch panel. CAT6 (Category 6) cables are designed for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000BASE-T) and can support higher bandwidths and faster data transfer rates compared to previous generations like CAT5e.
RJ45: This refers to the type of connector used on the patch panel. RJ45 connectors are the standard connectors used for Ethernet networking. Each port on the patch panel will have an RJ45 socket where Ethernet cables can be connected.
UTP: Stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It indicates the type of cable typically used with this patch panel. UTP cables consist of pairs of twisted copper wires and are commonly used in Ethernet networks.
The purpose of this patch panel is to provide a central location for terminating and organizing network cables. Each port on the patch panel corresponds to a specific network connection, allowing network administrators to easily manage and troubleshoot network connections. Patch panels are often used in conjunction with network switches to create structured cabling systems, enabling efficient and reliable network connectivity.
Main Features
The main features of a 19-inch 2U 48-port CAT6 RJ45 UTP network patch panel typically include:
High Port Density: With 48 ports in a 2U form factor, this patch panel offers a high port density, allowing for efficient use of rack space in data center or networking environments.
CAT6 Compatibility: Designed specifically for CAT6 Ethernet cables, ensuring compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet and providing support for high-speed data transmission.
RJ45 Connectors: Equipped with RJ45 connectors for each port, making it compatible with standard Ethernet cables commonly used in networking.
Universal T568A/T568B Wiring: Supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, providing flexibility in cable termination to accommodate different network configurations.
Color-Coded Ports: Ports may be color-coded or numbered for easy identification and organization, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting.
Easy Installation: Typically designed for tool-less or tool-assisted installation, allowing for quick and hassle-free mounting onto standard 19-inch racks or enclosures.
Durable Construction: Constructed from sturdy materials to ensure durability and reliability, capable of withstanding the demands of high-density networking environments.
Cable Management Features: May include built-in cable management features such as cable management bars, cable ties, or cable management channels to help organize and route cables neatly, minimizing cable clutter and reducing the risk of cable damage.
Grounding Capability: Some patch panels may include grounding options to help maintain proper electrical grounding and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Labeling Options: Provision for labeling or marking each port for easy identification, enabling quick and accurate cable tracing and maintenance.
Compatibility with Patch Cords: Compatible with standard patch cords, allowing for easy connection and disconnection of network devices without the need for rewiring.
These features collectively contribute to the functionality, reliability, and ease of use of the patch panel, making it an essential component of structured cabling systems in modern networking infrastructure.
