HELOS 134334 Cat.6a Shielded 24-Port 0.5U 19-Inch Rack Mount Patch Panel, Grey

The HELOS 134334 is a compact 0.5U Cat.6a shielded patch panel engineered for high-density 19-inch rack installations, delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance across 24 RJ45 ports. Its grey steel housing and LSA+ termination blocks provide a durable, space-saving solution for structured cabling in professional network environments.

Advantages

The 0.5U form factor maximizes rack space efficiency, allowing two panels to occupy a single rack unit. Shielded Cat.6a compliance supports 10GBASE-T up to 500 MHz, ensuring future-proof performance. The front-facing RJ45 ports with 50µ gold-plated contacts guarantee reliable connections, while the rear LSA+ IDC terminals accept AWG 22–26 solid or stranded conductors. A grounding wire is included for proper shielding and noise immunity.

Suitable for

• Small server rooms and IT closets with limited rack space
• Office networks requiring tidy horizontal cabling and centralized patching
• Home lab or home office setups needing Gigabit Ethernet termination points
• Temporary installations or network expansions where compact patch panels are preferred
