Monoprice 24 Port Cat6 110-Type Patch Panel Black

Designed for dependable, scalable network deployments, the Monoprice 24-Port Cat6 110-Type Patch Panel in Black combines rugged durability with organized cabling to support multimedia and data networks. This 24-port, 110-type patch panel is ideal for clean, professional network installations in offices, data centers, and home labs. The durable black-painted steel panel resists daily wear, while clearly numbered ports enable fast terminations and easy troubleshooting. White labeling blanks adjacent to the ports simplify labeling, asset management, and future changes, helping technicians map cables quickly and accurately. Built for standard 19" racks and cabinets, this patch panel is a cornerstone for reliable structured cabling, delivering stable signal integrity and a tidy, scalable installation as your network grows.

• High-density 24-port Cat6 design for scalable networks - This patch panel provides 24 dedicated Cat6 terminations in a compact 19" footprint, allowing you to consolidate and organize a large number of connections in one panel. The 110-type termination ensures consistent, repeatable performance across all ports, supporting reliable gigabit networks and solid performance for faster intra-network transfers. The layout is designed to minimize crosstalk and preserve signal quality across the entire channel, making it a dependable backbone for multimedia servers, workstations, and VOIP deployments.
• Rugged black-painted steel construction - Built to withstand the rigors of busy networking environments, the panel uses a durable steel chassis with a protective black finish. This combination resists scratches, corrosion, and daily handling, ensuring long-term reliability in equipment rooms, data closets, or rack enclosures. The robust build helps protect terminations and keeps cables secure, even in high-traffic installations where panels are accessed frequently for reconfigurations.
• 110-type termination for secure, tidy terminations - The 110-type (also known as 110 punch-down) termination system provides clean, uniform terminations for all 24 ports. This method simplifies wiring, supports accurate connector seating, and reduces termination errors. With proper tools and technique, you can achieve fast, repeatable terminations that maintain Cat6 performance and minimize signal loss or impedance mismatches across the panel.
• Label-friendly design with port numbering and white blanks - Each port is numbered for quick identification, while white labeling blanks adjacent to the ports give you space to add cables, site IDs, or device names. This feature streamlines installation, troubleshooting, and future changes, helping you map every connection at a glance. For larger networks, clear labeling reduces downtime during moves, adds, and changes (MACs).
• Versatile mounting and cable management for clean installations - The panel is designed for standard 19" racks and cabinets, with thoughtful cable management considerations that keep patch cords organized and out of the way. Bevelled edges, knockouts, and cable routing channels enable tidy runs, improve airflow, and ease maintenance. Whether you’re outfitting a network closet or a home laboratory, this patch panel supports neat, scalable cabling without sacrificing performance.

How to install Monoprice 24 Port Cat6 110-Type Patch Panel Black

• Plan your cable paths and select a suitable mounting location in or near a 19" rack or cabinet. Align the patch panel with other equipment and secure it using appropriate screws and washers for a stable installation.
• Label the panel first to minimize handling later. Number the ports and note any device mappings so you can reference the labels during terminations and future changes.
• Prepare your Cat6 cables with the correct lengths, ensuring you maintain proper bend radii. Route cables neatly and use organizers or Velcro straps to keep bundles tidy without applying excessive tension.
• Perform 110-type terminations for all 24 ports using a reputable punch-down tool and the correct terminating block. Make sure each conductor is fully seated and trimmed to avoid loose connections or crosstalk.
• Double-check the terminations, route the patch cords from the panel to fixed devices, and test every port with a network tester to verify continuity, resistance, and performance. Address any anomalies before fully commissioning the network.
• Document mappings, re-check labeling blanks for accuracy, and store the documentation in a known location for future moves, adds, or changes. Periodic verification helps maintain performance and simplifies troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the purpose of a Cat6 patch panel? A: A Cat6 patch panel provides a centralized termination point for network cabling, organizing connections, simplifying management, and helping maintain performance across a structured network.
• Q: Can this panel support 10 Gbps networks? A: Cat6 can support 10 Gbps over short distances (typically up to 55 meters in ideal conditions); for longer runs or higher-density high-speed networks, Cat6a is often recommended. This patch panel is Cat6-compliant and designed for reliable performance within standard bounds.
• Q: Is 110-type termination compatible with all Cat6 wiring? A: Yes, 110-type termination is widely used with Cat6 and provides secure, consistent terminations when proper tools and technique are used.
• Q: Does this patch panel come with labeling blanks? A: Yes, the panel includes white labeling blanks adjacent to the numbered ports to aid labeling and asset management.
• Q: What mounting options are supported? A: The panel is designed for standard 19" racks and cabinets, offering straightforward installation in most professional or home lab environments.
