The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48-Port Cat6 Patch Panel is engineered for high-density networks that demand organized, reliable data and power distribution. This PoE+-compliant patch panel is designed to simplify cabling, enable scalable growth, and support modern network deployments where power delivery to devices such as cameras, access points, and VoIP phones is essential. With 48 front RJ45 ports, a sturdy 2U rack-mount chassis, and compatibility with 110/Krone termination and both 568A/B wiring schemes, this patch panel delivers flexible configuration, expedited patching, and clean cable management in a compact footprint. Its durable black finish and TAA compliance make it suitable for enterprise environments, data closets, and government projects that require robust performance and reliable procurement standards.

• Dense 48-Port Cat6 Patch Panel: Occupies a compact 2U space while delivering 48 front-facing RJ45 connectors, enabling high-density cabling organization and rapid patching in data centers, network closets, and office environments. Designed to streamline cable routes, reduce management time, and improve airflow with clearly defined ports for easy identification.
• PoE+-ready with 4PPoE: PoE+ capability (4PPoE) supports power delivery to compatible devices over all four pairs, simplifying deployments for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other powered network electronics. By aggregating data and power distribution in a single panel, this patch panel minimizes the need for additional power cabinets and simplifies future upgrades as device requirements evolve.
• Flexible Termination and Wiring: The panel supports 110/Krone IDC termination and is compatible with both 568A and 568B wiring schemes, giving you versatile deployment options. This flexibility makes migrations, rewirings, and changes to existing networks efficient, reducing downtime and smoothing transitions between standards or upgrades.
• Rugged 2U Black Rack-Mount, TAA Compliant: Built with a sturdy steel chassis in a professional black finish, suitable for standard 19-inch racks. The TAA-compliant designation ensures eligibility for government and other procurement programs, aligning with strict compliance requirements without compromising performance or durability in busy network rooms.
• Future-Proof Networking Hardware: Cat6 performance supports current 1GbE deployments and typical PoE-powered devices, with headroom for reliable operation in dense networks. The patch panel is designed to reduce crosstalk and provide solid signal integrity across all ports, helping to protect existing investments while enabling smoother adoption of higher-speed standards as networks scale.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 48-Port Cat6 Patch Panel

Install this patch panel quickly and correctly by following these practical steps to ensure solid performance and neat cabling:

• Plan your network layout and confirm the PoE power budget requirements for all connected devices to prevent overloading power sources.
• Mount the 2U patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack using the included hardware, ensuring the panel is level and securely fastened to the rack rails.
• Route Cat6 cables from your network devices toward the patch panel with appropriate bend radii and strain relief to maintain signal integrity and reduce cable wear.
• Terminate each cable using the chosen method (110/Krone) and verify adherence to the 568A or 568B wiring scheme consistent with your existing infrastructure.
• Connect the front RJ45 ports to corresponding devices and patch panels, then run continuity tests and PoE checks to confirm proper data transmission and power delivery where applicable.

Frequently asked questions

• What does 4PPoE mean for this patch panel? 4PPoE indicates that power can be delivered over all four pairs of Cat6 cables, enabling higher power delivery to PoE devices while maintaining a single, centralized network panel for both data and power management.
• Is this patch panel compatible with 568A and 568B wiring? Yes. The panel is designed to support both wiring schemes, providing flexibility during installation, migration, or reconfiguration of existing networks.
• Can I use 110/Krone terminations with this patch panel? Yes. The patch panel is designed for straightforward 110/Krone terminations, enabling reliable and repeatable connections for Cat6 cabling.
• What rack size is required? This is a 2U, 19-inch rack-mount unit, intended for standard server racks. Ensure your rack has at least 2U of available height and adequate clearance for cabling management and airflow.
• Is the product suitable for government or enterprise procurement? Yes. The unit is TAA-compliant, which satisfies procurement requirements for government agencies and other programs that mandate Trade Agreements Act compliance.
