Ortronics Clarity Cat6a 24-Port Angled Panel – 110/6-Port, T568A/B, 1.75 x 19, HD

The Ortronics Clarity Cat6a 24-Port Angled Panel is a high-density, performance-driven patch panel designed to meet the rigors of demanding LAN environments. Built to be compliant with EIA/TIA Category 6a specifications, this angled patch panel delivers reliable 10G-ready performance while maximizing space efficiency in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks. Its 24-port configuration, organized into six-port modules, makes cable management straightforward and scalable, enabling clean terminations and easy future upgrades. Whether you’re setting up a new rack or expanding an existing one, this panel provides a robust backbone for your Clarity 6A link and channel solution, ensuring strong signal integrity across dense installations.

Designed for professional installers and network engineers, the Clarity 24-Port Angled Panel brings order to complex cabling with its compact 2U footprint and 19-inch rack compatibility. The angled design not only improves accessibility for terminations but also helps with orderly cable routing, reducing bend radii and minimizing crosstalk. With T568A/B wiring compatibility and a 110/6-port configuration, this patch panel supports flexible networking strategies—from clean room deployments to mixed-wiring environments—while preserving the fidelity of high-speed Cat6a connections. Its high-density layout is ideal for data centers, edge rooms, and high-traffic office networks where space and performance must go hand in hand.

• High-density 24-port design in a compact 2U, 19" rack footprint. This angled panel maximizes port density while maintaining easy access to terminations, making it ideal for space-constrained data centers and enterprise networks that require scalable Cat6a performance.
• Angled, six-port module layout groups jacks in six-port modules for streamlined termination and organized cabling. The modular approach simplifies labeling, troubleshooting, and future expansions, ensuring faster installs and smoother maintenance.
• 110/6-port termination configuration supports both T568A and T568B wiring schemes, enabling flexible patching and straightforward integration with existing networks. This versatility reduces the risk of mis-wiring and accelerates deployment timelines.
• Clarity 6A link and channel solution compatibility delivers consistent performance across links and channels. The design emphasizes signal integrity by minimizing crosstalk and ensuring reliable transmission for high-bandwidth applications common in modern networks.
• Rugged, space-efficient construction optimized for busy data centers and offices. The panel’s architecture supports long-term durability while maintaining the slim profile needed for dense rack configurations, with dimensions aligned to standard 19" racks and a shallow 3.5" mounting depth for versatile installations.

how to install Ortronics Clarity Cat6a 24 Port Angled Panel

• Prepare the installation site: ensure the rack is level, secure, and capable of supporting the 2U panel in addition to other equipment. Have cable management accessories ready to keep rows tidy and to preserve plug-in access.
• Mount the angled patch panel in the 19-inch rack. Align the panel’s mounting ears with the rack rails and secure with appropriate screws. Verify the panel sits firmly and that it can be serviced without disturbing adjacent gear.
• Plan the cable routing and port labeling before termination. Because the panel is organized into six-port modules, map each module to its corresponding switch or patching point. Use color-coded labeling and consistent gang numbering to simplify future moves, adds, or changes (MACs).
• Terminate the cables using the 110-style termination as designed for the panel. Choose T568A or T568B per site standards and maintain a consistent scheme across all cables in the same channel to prevent confusion during troubleshooting or reconfigurations.
• Route and secure backbone and patch cords with appropriate cable managers to maintain clean bends and adequate separation from power lines. Use labeled patch cords and maintain uniform lengths to minimize clutter and crosstalk risk at the patching surface.
• Test each channel after termination. Use a certified network tester to verify Category 6a performance, checking for compliant attenuation, return loss, and crosstalk metrics. Document results for future maintenance and warranty considerations.
• Document the final cable layout and port assignments. Update network diagrams and asset inventories to reflect the new panel and its six-port modules. Periodically re-audit connections to ensure ongoing performance and identify potential bottlenecks as the network evolves.
