Black Box JPM5E24A-HU 24-Port Unshielded CAT5E Patch Panel
Overview
The Black Box JPM5E24A-HU is a 24-port, 1/2U unshielded CAT5E patch panel designed for structured cabling deployments. Its compact form factor allows for high port density in standard 19-inch racks, making it suitable for network closets and data centers where space is at a premium. This panel facilitates organized termination and patching of Ethernet cables, simplifying network management and troubleshooting. The black finish ensures a clean aesthetic in any rack environment.
Compatibility
This patch panel is designed for use with standard CAT5E unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. It supports 110-type punch-down termination for both the patch panel side and the cabling side, ensuring broad compatibility with common network installation tools and practices. It is suitable for integration into any standard 19-inch rack system commonly found in IT infrastructure.
Installation Notes
Installation requires standard 110-type punch-down tools for terminating the CAT5E cables. Ensure proper cable management to maintain bend radius integrity and avoid signal degradation. The panel mounts to any standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting points. The 1/2U height means two panels can be installed in a single rack unit, doubling port density.
