FAQ
What types of keystone jacks can I install in this patch panel?
The N062-024-KJ accepts any standard keystone jack, including Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 Ethernet, fiber optic (LC, SC, ST), coaxial, HDMI, USB, and audio/video connectors. This flexibility allows you to customize the panel for mixed-media installations without being limited to pre-configured port types.
Is this patch panel compatible with my existing 19-inch rack?
Yes, the panel is designed for standard 19-inch wide racks with EIA-310-D mounting holes. Its 1U height occupies minimal vertical space, making it suitable for most server cabinets, network racks, and wall-mounted enclosures that support 19-inch equipment.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates the patch panel meets sourcing requirements for U.S. federal government purchases. This certification ensures the product is manufactured in a designated country, making it eligible for procurement by government agencies and contractors working on federal projects.
Does the patch panel include mounting hardware?
The panel includes integrated mounting ears with standard rack screw holes, but rack screws are typically not included. You will need four rack screws (usually 10-32 or M6 thread) for installation. The package does include a grounding wire for proper electrical bonding to the rack.
What is the warranty coverage for this patch panel?
Tripp Lite by Eaton provides a lifetime limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty applies to the original purchaser and requires proper installation in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines and environmental specifications.
Can this panel support shielded keystone jacks?
The panel itself is unshielded, but it can physically accept shielded keystone jacks. For a fully shielded installation, you would need to ensure proper grounding of both the keystone jacks and the panel via the included grounding wire, and use shielded cabling throughout the channel to maintain electromagnetic compatibility.
