Patch Panel Alcasa GC-N0146 0.5U 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 Cat6a

The Alcasa GC-N0146 0.5U 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 Cat6a patch panel is a compact rack-mounted panel intended for structured network installations. It provides 24 RJ-45 ports compatible with Cat6a cabling to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Constructed from steel with a white finish, the panel measures 482.6 mm wide, 22 mm high and 100 mm deep, allowing organized termination and distribution of horizontal cabling in a standard 19-inch rack environment.

Advantages

This 0.5U patch panel offers high-density termination in a reduced rack unit height, enabling efficient use of rack space while maintaining full 10 Gigabit performance over Cat6a media. The steel construction provides mechanical durability for repeated patching cycles and cable management. A standard width ensures compatibility with common rack enclosures and simplifies integration into existing network racks.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data closets requiring high-speed 10 Gigabit connectivity
• Office networks deploying Cat6a structured cabling
• Telecommunications rooms where rack space is limited
• Network closets needing centralized cable termination and organization

Key specifications

• Form factor: 0.5U rack mount
• Port count: 24 RJ-45 ports
• Supported standard: Cat6a, suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Material: steel
• Finish colour: white
• Dimensions (W×H×D): 482.6 mm × 22 mm × 100 mm

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack using the appropriate mounting hardware for 0.5U equipment. Terminate each Cat6a cable to the corresponding RJ-45 port following the T568A or T568B wiring scheme required by your installation. Use cable management accessories and labels to maintain orderly runs and simplify identification. Verify links with a network tester to confirm performance up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet after termination and patching.

Recommendations

Position the panel near the switch or patching field to minimize horizontal cable lengths. Maintain proper bend radii for Cat6a cables and avoid excessive strain on connectors. For consistent 10 Gigabit performance, use quality Cat6a cable and follow industry termination practices, including correct pair untwisting and shielding (if applicable).
