METZ CONNECT 130B11P0-E Cat6a 24-Port Shielded Patch Panel, 1U Rack Mount, Tool-less IDC, T568A/B, 500 MHz, PoE+ 130B11P0-E-90

For high-density installations where every rack unit counts, the METZ CONNECT 130B11P0-E delivers 24 shielded Cat6a ports in a single 1U space. Its tool-less IDC terminations and die-cast zinc shielding set it apart from conventional panels that demand punch-down tools and separate grounding. This panel supports 10GBASE-T up to 500 MHz and all PoE classes, making it a future-ready backbone for enterprise networks.

Highlights

• 24 shielded RJ45 ports in 1U rack-mount form factor
• Tool-less IDC termination accepts AWG 22–26 solid or stranded wire
• Die-cast zinc housing ensures robust shielding and EMI protection
• Supports T568A and T568B wiring schemes
• Complies with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173-1, TIA/EIA-568-C.2, IEC 60603-7-51
• Gold-plated contacts rated for over 750 mating cycles
• Operates from -40°C to +70°C, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating

In daily use

Installers will appreciate the panel's intuitive cable management and clear port labeling. The tool-less IDC blocks reduce termination time by up to 50% compared to traditional punch-down panels, while the die-cast zinc body provides a solid ground path for shielded cabling. With support for PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE, the panel can power access points, IP cameras, and other devices without additional midspans. The 1U height maximizes port density in crowded racks, and the front-facing ports simplify patching and troubleshooting.
