Description

Black Box JPM5E48A Cat5e Unshielded Patch Panel

Overview

The Black Box JPM5E48A is a 48-port, unshielded Category 5e patch panel. It's designed for structured cabling installations where reliable network connectivity is paramount. This panel provides a centralized termination point for Ethernet cabling, simplifying network management and troubleshooting in commercial or data center environments. Its full population ensures you have a port for every cable run from the outset, preventing future installation delays.

Compatibility

This patch panel is compatible with standard Cat5e Ethernet cables and connectors. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, supporting network infrastructure from various vendors. Use it with standard RJ45 keystone jacks or punch-down modules for Cat5e performance.

Ensure proper cable management on both the front (patch cords) and rear (horizontal cabling) to maintain signal integrity and airflow. The panel mounts to any standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting ears.
