STP Cat.6 patch panel, 48 ports, IDC ALANTEC PK050

Robust Cat.6 patch panel for demanding installations

This 48-port shielded Cat.6 patch panel from ALANTEC is a basic yet crucial element of every professional telecommunications network. The use of STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) shielding provides high resistance to electromagnetic interference, which translates into stable and reliable data transmission – especially important in environments with a high density of electronic devices, such as server rooms or offices. The panel is an ideal solution for both installers and end-users who value high quality and long-lasting reliability.

Construction and application

The patch panel is used to create main and intermediate distribution points in telecommunications networks. A compensation circuit implemented on a printed circuit board with universal IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) slit connectors enables easy and quick stripping of transmission cables. Mounting in a standard 19" cabinet allows for optimal space utilization, and clear port markings facilitate identification and connection management. The panel is compatible with all types of shielded cables: U/FTP, F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP – however, to maintain full functionality, it is recommended to use it only with shielded cables.

Advantages and benefits

• High quality workmanship: Made of cold-rolled steel sheet and powder-coated, which guarantees durability and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Effective protection against interference: Shielding minimizes crosstalk and provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), resulting in stable data transmission.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 and the PoE++ IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3) 60W standard, enabling the power supply of devices such as CCTV cameras or WiFi access points.
• Universality: Supports cables with a diameter of 22 to 26 AWG and is backward compatible with lower category elements.
• Long warranty: The product is covered by a 25-year system warranty, provided that the installation is carried out by a trained installer and the network is certified. This is a solid investment in the future of your network infrastructure.
• Category 6: Designed for data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T), and even up to 10 Gbps in shorter sections.
• Mounting in a 19" cabinet: The panel takes up only 1U height in the rack cabinet, allowing for efficient use of space.
