Patch Panel Rutenbeck BasicLine 19 Inch Extendable Model 2280307060 for Structured Cabling

The Rutenbeck BasicLine 19" retractable patch panel model 2280307060 is designed for structured cabling installations in 19-inch racks and cabinets. Its retractable mechanism allows the panel to be pulled out for easy access to ports and cable terminations during installation and maintenance, while remaining secure and compact when closed. The unit supports organized termination and distribution of network cabling in server rooms, communication cabinets and data closets where controlled access and tidy cable routing are required.

Advantages

The retractable design enables safe and convenient access to rear and front connections without removing the entire unit from the rack, reducing installation time and physical strain. The BasicLine construction offers a stable mounting frame compatible with standard 19" rack systems and provides clear port alignment for consistent patching. Durable materials and precise manufacturing ensure reliable mechanical performance and repeatable cable management over multiple maintenance cycles.

How to use

Install the panel in a standard 19" rack or cabinet using the provided mounting points and appropriate rack screws. Route network cables to the rear of the unit and terminate them into the appropriate keystone modules or jacks according to the cabling standard in use (for example T568A/T568B). Use the retractable feature to pull the panel out during termination and testing to gain clear access to connections, then slide it back into the rack to secure the assembly. Ensure cable management accessories and strain relief are used to maintain consistent bend radii and prevent stress on terminations.

Recommendations

Use the retractable patch panel in combination with appropriate cable management (horizontal managers, ties and strain-relief brackets) to maintain organized routing; perform terminations and testing while the panel is pulled out and secure cables before repositioning to reduce the risk of accidental disconnections or cable damage.
