StarTech PANELHU24 24 Port Cat5e Patch Panel
Overview
The StarTech PANELHU24 is a 0.5U, 19-inch rackmount patch panel designed to terminate and organize 24 Cat5e Ethernet cable runs. This unit consolidates network cabling, simplifying management and reducing clutter in server racks, essential for maintaining network integrity and facilitating troubleshooting in environments ranging from small offices to large data centers. Its compact 0.5U form factor maximizes rack space utilization, a critical consideration in high-density deployments. The PANELHU24 supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring your network infrastructure can handle demanding data traffic.
Compatibility
This patch panel is designed for use with standard 19-inch network racks and cabinets. It supports Ethernet cables with wire gauges from 22 AWG to 26 AWG, commonly found in Cat5e installations. It is compatible with any network switch or router port that adheres to the 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet standard. No specific software or firmware is required; it functions as a passive termination point for your structured cabling system.
Installation Notes
Installation involves terminating 24 individual Ethernet cables onto the rear punch-down blocks and connecting them to the front RJ45 ports. A standard 110-type punch-down tool is recommended for the rear terminations to ensure secure connections and proper wire seating. The operating temperature range is -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F), and operating humidity is between 10% and 65% RH (non-condensing). The panel weighs 14.4 oz and has a depth of 19.0 inches.
