METZ CONNECT 130856-E-90 24-Port Cat.6A shielded patch panel, 1U, white

Structured cabling in 19-inch racks often suffers from messy terminations, poor shielding, and inconsistent performance. The METZ CONNECT 130856-E-90 patch panel solves this by providing a centralized, shielded 24-port Cat.6A termination point in a compact 1U form factor.
