How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 24-Port Cat6a Shielded Patch Panel

• Plan spacing and routing: Map your cabling plan, ensuring adequate routing space for cables and proper bend radii to maintain Cat6a performance.
• Mount the patch panel: Attach the unit to a standard 19" rack or cabinet using the included mounting hardware, positioning it where patch cables can reach switches, patch bays, and wall jacks.
• Route shielded cables: Run shielded Cat6a cables to the patch panel, keeping runs tidy with cable management bars or ties to minimize clutter and EMI exposure.
• Terminate with 110 blocks: Use the color-coded 110 punch-down slots to terminate each cable according to your wiring scheme (TIA/EIA standards). Press down firmly to ensure solid contact without damaging conductors.
• Connect to network devices: Attach patch cords from the RJ45 ports on the patch panel to your switch, router, or patch panels, maintaining organized port labeling for easy identification.
• Test and label: After termination, test each link for continuity and performance, labeling ports for future maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Manage and document: Use cable ties and labeling to keep cables neatly arranged, and update your network documentation to reflect the new patch panel layout.
