Description

Black Box JPM820A CAT6 Feed-Through Patch Panel - 2U

Overview

The Black Box JPM820A is a 48-port, unshielded, CAT6 feed-through patch panel designed for 2U rackmount installations. This panel simplifies network cable termination by allowing direct connection of patch cords to the front of the panel, eliminating the need for traditional punch-down blocks. It's ideal for environments requiring clean, organized, and easily maintainable network infrastructure, such as data centers, enterprise networks, and surveillance system head-ends.

Compatibility

This patch panel is designed for use with standard Category 6 (CAT6) Ethernet cabling. It supports direct connection to network switches, routers, and other network devices via standard RJ45 patch cords. While not specific to any single vendor's active equipment, it functions as a passive component within any structured cabling system utilizing CAT6 infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The JPM820A requires a standard 2U rack space. Installation involves mounting the panel into a 19-inch rack using standard rack screws. The feed-through design means CAT6 cables are terminated on the rear and patch cords are plugged into the front RJ45 ports, streamlining the patching process and reducing potential points of failure compared to traditional punch-down panels.
