Patch panels are most commonly found in Ethernet networks,
making Cat5 patch panels and Cat6
patch panels the most common, but patch panels can
be used in many other applications. A patch panel, sometimes
referred to as a patch bay or a jackfield, is a panel
designed for the management of cable connections. On the
front side of a patch panel there are jacks designed to
receive short patch cables, while on the back of the panel
there are either jacks or punch down blocks that receive the
connections of longer and more permanent cables. The
assembly of hardware is arranged so that a number of
circuits appear on jacks for monitoring, interconnecting,
and testing in a convenient and flexible manner. This offers
the convenience of allowing technicians to quickly change
the circuit of select signals without the use of expensive
dedicated switching equipment. Patch panels are typically
rack mountable, although some are designed to be mounted directly onto a wall.
12 Port CAT5e Wall Mount Patch Panel - 1U
CAT5e Patch Panels from Networx™ will maximize your network performance and will keep up with even the greatest of changes in your network. Made from black electrostatic powder-coated steel these patch panels can stand up to even the most extreme conditions. With the built in cable management and write-on labels, organizing your cabinet will no longer be a chore. A clear wiring guide on the reverse side of the Patch Panel will make sure you never second guess if you punched down the patch panel correctly. Networx™ CAT5e patch panels are rated up to 250Mbps and meet or exceed the TIA/EIA 568-B.2 industry specification. The space saving design of these patch panels means that they will fit into the standard 19” cabinet and take up 1U/2U depending on the model. All Networx™ Patch Panels are UL Listed, feature a 110 Type Punch Down termination and include rack mount screws. Cat 5 e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. It was formally defined in 2001 as the TIA/EIA-568-B standard, which no longer recognizes the original Cat 5 specification. Although 1000BASE-T was designed for use with Cat 6 cable, the tighter specifications associated with Cat 5e cable and connectors make it an excellent choice for use with 1000BASE-T ethernet networks. A patch panel or patch bay, not to be confused with the jackfield, is a panel, typically rackmounted, that houses cable connections. One typically shorter patch cable will plug into the front side, whereas the back holds the connection of a much longer and more permanent cable. The assembly of hardware is arranged so that a number of circuits, usually of the same or similar type, appear on jacks for monitoring, interconnecting, and testing circuits in a convenient, flexible manner.
