helos 146868 patch panel — rackmount RJ-45 24 ports

Unmanaged patch panels can turn server rooms into a maze of tangled cables, making moves, adds, and changes a frustrating chore. The HELOS Cat.6a LSA 19" Patch Panel 1U 24 Port Black solves this by centralizing up to 24 Ethernet connections in a single, tidy rack unit. Its 24 shielded RJ-45 ports provide a clean, accessible termination point for horizontal and backbone cabling, while the integrated LSA (Krone) IDC blocks ensure fast, tool-free termination. Built from 1.5 mm cold-rolled steel with a black RAL 9005 powder coat, this panel is as durable as it is functional. It supports Cat.6a performance up to 500 MHz, making it ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The panel includes a rear cable management bar, front labeling fields, and an integrated grounding connection for reliable shielded installations.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT integrators, and facility managers who need a reliable, high-density patching solution for 19-inch racks. It is perfect for server rooms, data centres, office networks, and communications closets where structured cabling must be organized, accessible, and future-proof.
