DSIT DS-10Patch5-12FTP 10-Inch 12-Port FTP Cat 5e Patch Panel

Compact yet robust, the DSIT DS-10Patch5-12FTP brings reliable Cat 5e connectivity to 10-inch installations where space is at a premium. Unlike full-size 19-inch panels that waste rack space in small enclosures, this 1U panel delivers 12 shielded RJ45 ports in a footprint that fits neatly into 10-inch racks, wall boxes, or compact network cabinets. The FTP shielding and integrated grounding wire ensure clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments, making it a practical choice for small offices, home networks, and edge installations.

Highlights

• 12 shielded RJ45 ports in a space-saving 10-inch, 1U form factor
• Cat 5e performance with FTP (foiled twisted pair) shielding for reduced crosstalk and EMI
• Rear LSA+ (IDC) termination blocks support both T568A and T568B wiring schemes with clear color coding
• Sturdy metal housing with integrated grounding wire for reliable earthing
• Numbered ports and included cable ties and mounting screws simplify installation and management

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: mount the panel in any standard 10-inch rack or enclosure, punch down your horizontal cables on the rear LSA+ blocks, and connect patch leads to the front RJ45 jacks. The color-coded termination labels reduce wiring errors, while the metal construction stands up to repeated use. With over 750 insertion cycles for the RJ45 jacks and more than 200 termination cycles for the LSA+ blocks, this panel is built for long-term reliability. The integrated grounding wire connects directly to the rack's earth point, ensuring the shield performs as intended.
