VALUE Cat.6 19-inch 24-port shielded patch panel black

The VALUE Kat.6 19" 24 Ports Shielded Black patch panel is a rack-mountable network accessory designed for structured cabling in server rooms, telecom racks and network closets. It provides 24 shielded RJ45 ports compatible with Category 6 cabling, delivering reliable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. The black finish and 19-inch form factor ensure compatibility with standard racks and a discreet appearance within professional network installations.

Advantages

The shielded design improves resistance to external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, which helps maintain consistent data transmission quality across all 24 ports. The panel’s Category 6 wiring supports higher data rates and better performance margins compared with lower categories. Its 19" form factor and compact layout simplify rack mounting and cable management, enabling a tidy, serviceable infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• Office network racks and communication cabinets
• Telecommunications closets and equipment rooms
• Structured cabling projects requiring Cat6 performance and shielding
• Environments with increased EMI where shielded components are preferred

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 shielded RJ45 ports
• Category: Cat6 compatible
• Form factor: 19" rack-mount
• Color: black finish
• Shielding: full metal/shielded design for EMI protection

How to use

Install the patch panel into a standard 19" rack using the provided mounting holes and screws. Terminate Cat6 shielded cables to the rear of each RJ45 port following the panel’s wiring scheme and the selected termination standard (T568A or T568B). Ensure the cable shields are properly connected to the panel’s chassis to maintain the effectiveness of the shielding. Route and secure cables with horizontal managers or Velcro ties to avoid strain on terminations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use with Cat6 shielded twisted-pair cabling and compatible shielded connectors. Keep cable lengths within the recommended limits for Category 6 to ensure signal integrity. Ensure proper grounding of the rack and panel chassis to maximize EMI protection.
