VALUE Cat.5e 24-port STP patch panel black

The VALUE Cat.5e 24-Port STP patch panel is a 19" rack-mount module designed for structured cabling systems. It provides 24 shielded ports to support Cat5e performance and reduce electromagnetic interference, with a durable black sheet-steel casing suitable for professional network installations.

Advantages

The panel complies with the EIA/TIA 568 TSB40a standard and uses LSA-plus connection technology on the rear for reliable terminations. Colour coding on the top follows EIA/TIA 568 for straightforward wiring. The sheet-steel casing and covering hood offer physical protection and grounding for the STP design.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and server rooms
• 19" network racks and cabinets
• Cat5e Ethernet installations requiring shielded ports (STP)
• Patch fields and centralised cable management

Key specifications

• Standard: EIA/TIA 568 TSB40a compliant
• Ports: 24
• Cabling: Cat.5e, STP
• Connection type: LSA-plus rear termination with EIA/TIA 568 colour coding
• Mounting: 19" rack-mount
• Material / finish: Sheet steel casing, black

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19" rack or cabinet using appropriate screws. Terminate each incoming STP cable on the rear LSA-plus terminals following the colour code printed on the top in accordance with EIA/TIA 568. Verify shield continuity by properly bonding the cable shields to the panel and rack ground. After termination, connect patch cords to the front RJ45 ports to link network devices.

Recommendations

For best performance, use Cat5e shielded cabling and maintain proper grounding of the panel and rack. Avoid sharp bends at cable entries and test each port after installation to confirm wiring and signal integrity.
