Description

Black Box JPM816A CAT6 Patch Panel Feed-Through 2U Shielded

Overview

The Black Box JPM816A is a 2U, 48-port, shielded CAT6 feed-through patch panel designed for structured cabling systems. It provides a clean termination point for network runs, ensuring signal integrity and simplifying cable management in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-density AV installations. The feed-through design allows for direct connection of patch cords to equipment ports without requiring traditional punch-down termination on the front, reducing installation time and potential for errors.

Compatibility

This patch panel is designed for use with standard CAT6 Ethernet cables and RJ45 connectors. It is compatible with any network switch, router, or other network device requiring CAT6 connectivity. Its 2U height makes it suitable for standard 19-inch racks, common in server rooms and telecommunications closets. The shielded construction is critical for environments with electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as industrial settings or areas with heavy power cabling, helping to maintain data accuracy and network performance.

Installation Notes

The feed-through ports simplify installation by allowing direct patching from the front. Ensure proper grounding of the shielded panel to the rack or building ground to maximize the effectiveness of the shielding. Use appropriate CAT6 patch cords to maintain performance specifications. The 2U form factor requires two rack units of vertical space.
