INTELLINET 720922 – Cat6a Shielded 24-Port Patch Panel, 0.5U

Overview :

The INTELLINET 720922 Cat6a Shielded 24-Port Patch Panel delivers a high-density, high-performance structured cabling termination solution engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Designed for network administrators, IT technicians, and systems integrators, its ultra-compact 0.5U form factor doubles rack port density, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained data centers, server racks, and high-density telecommunication closets.

Constructed with a heavy-duty steel chassis designed for standard 19-inch rackmount installations, this half-U panel features 24 shielded FTP RJ45 ports with phosphor bronze contacts plated with 3-micron gold to ensure maximum conductivity and prevent oxidation. The 90-degree top-entry IDC punch-down blocks simplify cable termination using compatible Krone impact tools and accommodate 23 to 26 AWG solid or stranded copper wires. Comprehensive shielding throughout the panel protects high-speed data signals against electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI), and alien crosstalk.

The patch panel includes a pre-attached grounding wire to dissipate static and electrical noise safely across shielded network environments. It is well-suited for 10GBASE-T, Gigabit, and Fast Ethernet infrastructure carrying demanding network workloads and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Do not deploy without connecting the grounding wire to a properly bonded rack ear or grounding busbar.

Key Features :
