Tripp Lite by Eaton Cat5e/Cat6 24-Port Patch Panel - Shielded, Krone IDC, 568B, RJ45 Ethernet, 1U, TAA

Optimize your network infrastructure with a premium, high-density patch panel that blends rugged construction with precise termination. The Tripp Lite by Eaton Cat5e/Cat6 24-Port Patch Panel is engineered to streamline cable management in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks. Designed for shielded Cat5e and Cat6 deployments, it uses Krone IDC termination for quick, repeatable terminations and a clean, organized backbone for your Ethernet connections. With a compact 1U rack height and a standard 19-inch width, this patch panel fits seamlessly into existing racks while delivering superior performance, EMI protection, and long-term reliability.

  • High-density protection for Cat5e and Cat6 networks: This 24-port shielded patch panel supports Cat5e and Cat6 cabling, delivering a robust solution for oggi’s high-speed networks. Shielding minimizes EMI and crosstalk in dense environments, preserving signal integrity across all ports and reducing the risk of performance degradation in busy data centers and office deployments.
  • Precision Krone IDC termination with 568B wiring: The Krone insulation-displacement design enables fast, consistent terminations, while the 568B wiring scheme keeps your color-coding and cross-connects predictable, simplifying installation, maintenance, and future upgrades. This combination ensures reliable connections and easier port mapping across your network.
  • 1U, 19-inch rack compatibility for easy deployment: Built for standard racks, this patch panel occupies just 1U of vertical space while providing a full 24-port layout. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained data centers, edge deployments, and growing IT rooms where rack density matters.
  • Durable shielded metal housing with organized cable management: The rugged metal chassis supports heavy use and grounding, while thoughtful internal design keeps cables neatly arranged. Shielded construction enhances performance in environments with high electrical noise, ensuring stable connectivity for critical applications and devices.
  • Designed for reliability and government procurement: With TAA compliance, this patch panel meets procurement requirements for federal and state programs, as well as other enterprise settings that demand traceable, trusted equipment. Its durable construction and consistent performance make it a dependable backbone for long-term network investments.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Cat5e/Cat6 24-Port Patch Panel

Installing this patch panel is straightforward when you follow best practices for rack-mounted Ethernet infrastructure. Plan your port mapping before you begin, label each cable, and confirm port locations to minimize downtime during upgrades or rerouting. Here is a practical guide to a clean, reliable installation:

  • Prepare the rack and panel: Ensure your rack is clean, level, and within reach of your data center’s power and cooling. Remove any protective packaging from the patch panel and verify you have all mounting screws and hardware. Confirm that the 19-inch rail spacing aligns with your rack’s rails.
  • Mount the panel in the rack: Align the patch panel with the rack rails and secure it using the appropriate screws. Tighten securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the chassis or mounting flanges. The 1U height ensures it fits alongside other devices without crowding the cabinet.
  • Route and ground shielding: Route shielded Cat5e/Cat6 cable runs neatly to the back of the panel. Use cable managers or Velcro ties to create clean, orderly pathways. If your installation requires grounding of shielding, follow your facility’s grounding practices to maintain EMI protection.
  • Terminate cables with Krone IDC: For each port, insert the conductors into the Krone IDC slots according to the 568B color code. Ensure solid, uniform terminations and verify that each conductor is fully seated. Test each port with a cable tester to confirm continuity and performance before powering on connected devices.
  • Label and document port mappings: Use durable labels to identify each port and its corresponding device or cable run. Document the patch panel layout in your network records to simplify future moves, adds, or changes.
  • Perform final checks and tidy up: Verify that all cables are securely fastened, that there is no strain on cables at connectors, and that airflow in the cabinet remains unhindered. Conduct a final test with a network tester to ensure signal integrity across all 24 ports, then power up connected equipment and monitor performance.
