Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch panel provides 48 shielded RJ-45 ports arranged in a high-density layout within a single rack unit. It supports CAT5e cabling, which is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 meters. The feed-through design enables direct connection of patch cables to the rear ports, simplifying installation and reducing termination time compared to traditional punch-down panels.
The panel's physical profile is optimized for standard rack environments, with dimensions of 1.75 inches in height, 19 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth. It weighs approximately 1.09 kg, making it lightweight yet robust for rack mounting. The included mounting screws (4 x 10-32 and 4 x 12-24 cuphead types) accommodate various rack threading standards, while cable ties and station ID labels aid in organization and identification.

FAQ
What is the difference between a feed-through and punch-down patch panel?
A feed-through patch panel allows direct connection of patch cables to the rear ports without requiring punch-down tools, simplifying installation and reconfiguration. In contrast, punch-down panels need cables to be terminated using a punch-down tool, which can be more time-consuming and require specialized skills. The Black Box JPM806A-HD uses a feed-through design for easier deployment.
How many ports does this patch panel support?
This patch panel provides 48 RJ-45 ports, all configured for network connections. The high-density design fits these 48 ports within a single 1U rack space, making it efficient for environments where rack real estate is limited.
Is this patch panel shielded?
Yes, the Black Box JPM806A-HD features shielded construction. This helps minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring more reliable signal integrity for network performance, especially in environments with nearby electrical equipment.
What rack size is compatible with this patch panel?
The patch panel is designed for standard 19-inch wide racks and occupies 1U of vertical space (1.75 inches in height). It includes both 10-32 and 12-24 cuphead screws to accommodate different rack threading standards, ensuring broad compatibility.
What cabling standard does this patch panel support?
This patch panel supports CAT5e cabling, which is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 meters. It is ideal for existing CAT5e infrastructure or new installations where this standard meets network requirements.
What accessories are included with the patch panel?
The package includes 4 x 10-32 cuphead screws, 4 x 12-24 cuphead screws, 8 cable ties, and 8 station ID labels. These accessories support mounting, cable management, and organization, providing a complete solution for deployment without needing additional purchases.
