Panduit FLCSMBLY Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit FLCSMBLY is a 48-port, Category 5e patch panel designed for structured cabling deployments where high port density is required. Its 2RU (Rack Unit) height allows for efficient use of rack space in telecommunications closets and data centers. This panel provides a termination point for horizontal cabling runs, facilitating network management and troubleshooting. The FLCSMBLY is built for environments demanding reliable network infrastructure, such as enterprise offices or industrial facilities.

Compatibility

This patch panel is designed for use with standard Category 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. It supports termination of 22-26 AWG solid conductor cable. The panel is compatible with standard 19-inch wide racks and cabinets, common in most network infrastructure installations. It serves as a passive component, making it universally compatible with any network switch or active equipment that utilizes RJ45 connectors.

Installation Notes

Termination of individual pairs is achieved using a standard punch-down tool (e.g., 110-style). Ensure proper cable management to maintain bend radius specifications and prevent signal degradation. Each port is clearly labeled for easy identification. The unit requires standard rack mounting hardware (not included).
