Panduit DP6 24 Port Cat6 Network Patch Panel

The Panduit DP6 24 Port Cat6 Network Patch Panel is a premium networking solution designed to streamline high-density Ethernet deployments. Built to maximize space efficiency in data centers, server rooms, and network closets, this 24-port patch panel delivers reliable Cat6 performance with clean termination, precise labeling, and durable construction. Engineered for professional installations, it fits standard 19" racks and occupies just 1U of vertical space, making it an ideal choice for growing networks where organization and accessibility matter. Whether you’re upgrading an office network or expanding a data center infrastructure, the DP6 patch panel combines rugged reliability with easy deployment, rapid maintenance, and scalable capacity.

• 24 x RJ-45 Ethernet ports deliver full Cat6 performance, enabling reliable Gigabit and 10-Gig network connections across the panel. Each port is engineered for clean termination, low signal loss, and minimal crosstalk, helping maintain strong network performance as cabling length increases. This dense 24-port layout simplifies cable management and patches, reducing patch panel clutter and speeding up workstation or switch provisioning.
• 24 x RJ-11 ports provide integrated voice-line support on the same chassis, allowing a compact, all-in-one solution for voice and data cabling in environments where space is at a premium. This setup is especially useful in telecom rooms or small data closets where combining data and voice pathways on a single panel minimizes hardware footprint while preserving service quality.
• 1U high and 19" wide rack-mountable design fits standard equipment racks, preserving valuable rack space and ensuring compatibility with existing rack hardware, cable managers, and PDUs. The slim profile enhances airflow and simplifies enclosure planning while maintaining easy access for port labeling and cable re-patching as your network evolves.
• Durable steel chassis with a robust finish provides long-term reliability in busy network environments. The front face features clear, color-coded labeling and port numbering that speeds patching, reduces human error, and supports straightforward audits during maintenance windows or routine inventory checks.
• Compatible with standard Cat6 components and Panduit’s extensive line of networking accessories, enabling a plug-and-play installation with scalable growth. The DP6 panel integrates seamlessly with Cat6 patch cords, keystone jacks, labeling solutions, and cable management hardware, making future upgrades and reconfigurations efficient and cost-effective.

How to install Panduit DP6 24 Port Cat6 Network Patch Panel

• Plan your cabling layout before mounting. Map each port to its corresponding network device or area, and label cables in advance to streamline future maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Mount the patch panel to a standard 19" rack using the included screws and hardware. Align the ears with the rack rails, and ensure the unit sits level to prevent strain on cables and connectors.
• Route trunk and patch cables through cable management accessories such as horizontal and vertical managers to keep the installation neat and accessible. Maintain consistent bend radii and avoid tight loops that could degrade signal integrity.
• Terminate cables into the RJ-45 ports according to your network design. For Cat6 installations, ensure proper untwisting is minimized near the termination point and that each conductor remains fully seated in its respective jack to preserve performance.
• Label each port and perform a comprehensive network test. Use a certified tester to verify connectivity, speed, and cable quality across all 24 ports, and document results for future reference or audits.
