Product Features
Technical Overview
This blank keystone patch panel supports twisted pair media over Category 6 and Category 5e UTP cabling. It provides 24 network (RJ-45) ports, each designed to accept a standard keystone jack. The panel mounts in a single 1U rack unit and is compatible with 19in rack widths, as well as cabinet and enclosure mounting scenarios.
The steel construction delivers durability in busy network environments, while the black finish maintains a professional look in racks and patch cabinets. The toolless keystone slots allow rapid jack installation and replacement, reducing downtime during network changes. Numbered ports on the front panel aid in cable tracing and maintenance.
Modular Keystone Design
Accepts up to 24 UTP RJ45 keystone jacks, enabling custom port configurations and quick replacement without specialized termination tools.
Clear Port Identification
Front-facing numbered ports simplify cable tracing, reduce errors, and speed up maintenance during network expansions.
Key Product Advantages
The C6PANELUTP241U is built for IT professionals who need reliable, scalable network infrastructure. Its modular architecture supports Cat5e and Cat6 UTP keystone jacks, making it adaptable to a wide range of Ethernet deployments. The toolless design eliminates the need for punch down tools, streamlining terminations and reducing installation time.
With 24 clearly numbered ports, technicians can identify and manage connections quickly, which minimizes errors during routine maintenance or emergency changes. The panel's steel construction and black finish provide long-term durability and a consistent appearance in any rack or enclosure.
