Lanberg PPS5-0024-B 24-Port CAT5e Shielded Patch Panel 0.5U 19 inch Rack Mount Black

Managing a growing network without a reliable termination point can quickly turn your rack into a tangled mess of cables and intermittent connections. The Lanberg PPS5-0024-B 24-port patch panel solves this by providing a clean, organized interface for all your shielded twisted-pair runs in a space-saving 0.5U footprint. Built for 19-inch racks, this black metal panel offers 24 shielded RJ-45 ports rated for CAT5e, making it an essential passive component for structured cabling in main and secondary distribution points.

Who is it for

This patch panel is ideal for IT professionals, network installers, and facility managers who need to terminate and manage multiple shielded network cables in a rack environment. It suits small to medium-sized server rooms, telecom closets, and any installation where reliable, organized connectivity is a priority.

Tips

For best performance, use shielded CAT5e cabling and ensure proper grounding of the rack and panel. Always follow standard cabling practices, maintain consistent wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) across all terminations, and verify each connection with a network tester after installation to avoid costly troubleshooting later.
