Patch panel OPTIMUM STP cat.5e 24 ports 0.5U ALANTEC PK031

Solid network foundation – shielded patch panel cat.5e

This 24-port patch panel from ALANTEC is a basic yet crucial element of every professional network installation. Designed to operate in environments exposed to electromagnetic interference (STP), it provides reliable signal distribution and efficient cable management. It is ideal for server rooms, data centers, and offices with a large number of electronic devices.

Construction and application

The 0.5U cross-connect panel mounted in a standard 19" rack allows for organized and easy identification of network connections. Equipped with universal LSA-type IDC slot connectors, it enables quick and easy termination of telecommunication cables. The compensation circuit implemented directly on the printed circuit board guarantees optimal data transmission quality. This is an ideal solution for creating main and intermediate distribution points in telecommunication networks.

Shielding and protection against interference

The panel's shielding not only protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) but also minimizes crosstalk – particularly important in densely cabled environments. The metal shield effectively eliminates external interference, ensuring stable and secure data transmission. The panel is compatible with all types of shielded cables: U/FTP, F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP, however, to ensure proper operation, it is recommended to use it only with shielded cables and proper grounding of the installation.

Parameters and standards

The product meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 and category 5e (class D), which guarantees operation at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). It supports PoE+ standard (IEEE 802.3at) allowing you to power devices such as IP cameras, WiFi access points or VoIP phones directly through the network cable. Made of high-quality powder-coated steel sheet, it provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The sockets are made of thermoplastic ABS material meeting the requirements of UL 94 V-0 and covered with a gold layer to ensure a reliable connection.

Warranty and investment security

ALANTEC PLUS is a guarantee of the highest quality confirmed by as much as a 25-year system warranty – provided that the installation is carried out by a trained installer and the network is certified using a calibrated LAN meter. This is a solid argument for investors looking for a reliable solution for years to come.
