DIGITUS CAT6, Class E patch panel, shielded 16-port RJ45, 8P8C, LSA, 1U, rack mount, color black RAL9005/482x44x109

The DIGITUS CAT 6 Class E Patch Panel DN-91616S-B is a 16‑port, shielded RJ‑45 panel designed for structured network installations. Built to Link Performance Class E and supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz, it meets EN 50173 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards and is compatible with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) power-over-Ethernet requirements. The housing is made from 1.5 mm galvanized cold‑rolled steel with a black finish and is intended for 19" rack mounting.

Advantages

The panel offers shielded CAT 6 performance with gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts for reliable signal transmission and improved conductivity. Its robust 1.5 mm galvanized steel housing provides mechanical stability and long service life in rack environments. Compliance with recognized cabling standards and PoE/PoE+ compatibility ensures interoperability with a wide range of network devices.

Suitable for

• Small and medium business network racks
• Server rooms and communication cabinets
• Structured cabling installations using CAT 6 cabling
• PoE and PoE+ powered devices (IP phones, cameras, wireless access points)

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19" rack using the mounting holes. Terminate CAT 6 shielded cables to the rear IDC or keystone positions according to the T568A or T568B wiring scheme and follow shielding grounding practices to maintain overall screening effectiveness. Connect front RJ‑45 ports to network devices or patch cords for flexible port management.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded CAT 6 cables and ensure proper grounding of the rack and panel shielding. Verify wiring with a cable tester after termination and follow PoE power budgets when connecting multiple powered devices.
