Patch panel OPTIMUM STP cat.6 24 ports 0.5U ALANTEC PK028

Robust distribution point for demanding networks

This 24-port patch panel from ALANTEC is a basic, shielded element of the telecommunications path, designed to build reliable networks in environments exposed to electromagnetic interference. Designed for both main and intermediate distribution points, it provides organized and secure connections in telecommunication cabinets. The panel is an ideal solution for installers and users who value network stability and long-term performance.

Construction and application

The OPTIMUM STP cat.6 0.5U patch panel utilizes a compensation circuit implemented directly on the printed circuit board with universal slotted connectors. This solution allows for precise and efficient connection of installation cables to network active devices. Thanks to the shielding, the panel minimizes the risk of interference, which is particularly important in places with a high concentration of electronic devices, such as server rooms or offices. It is compatible with all types of shielded cables: U/FTP, F/UTP, F/FTP and S/FTP – but remember to proper grounding! Using it with unshielded cables is not recommended.

Advantages and benefits

• Shielding: Provides high protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which translates to stable data transmission.
• Category 6: Supports data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is prepared for future standards – speeds of up to 10 Gbps are possible over shorter distances.
• PoE++ compatibility: Supports IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++ Type 3) 60W standard, enabling power supply for a wide range of network devices (VoIP phones, WiFi access points, CCTV cameras).
• System warranty: The product is covered by a 25-year ALANTEC PLUS system warranty – provided the installation is carried out by a trained installer and the network is certified.
• Compact size: 0.5U height allows for optimal use of space in a 19" rack cabinet.
• Durable construction: The housing made of cold-rolled steel sheet and powder-coated ensures durability and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Easy port identification: Each port is clearly marked, making it easier to manage connections and quickly service the network.
