Patch panel OPTIMUM UTP cat.5e 48 ports LSA 1U ALANTEC PK033

Robust distribution point for a reliable network

This 48-port patch panel from ALANTEC is a basic but crucial element of every UTP category 5e network installation. Designed for creating main and intermediate distribution points, it provides organized and efficient cable management in telecommunication cabinets. The panel is ideal for places where shielding against electromagnetic interference is not necessary – i.e., in most standard offices and homes.

Design and application

The panel uses a compensation layout implemented directly on the PCB with universal LSA strip connectors. This allows for easy and quick untwisting of installation cables. RJ45 connectors on the front side allow connection of active network devices such as computers, switches or routers. Thanks to mounting in a standard 19" cabinet with a height of 1U, the panel optimally utilizes the available space.

Advantages and benefits for the installer and user

• Versatility: Suitable for UTP category 5e networks, providing data transmission up to 1 Gbps.
• Easy installation: LSA connectors facilitate and speed up the installation and reconfiguration process.
• Durability: Made of cold-rolled steel sheet and powder-coated, which guarantees resistance to mechanical damage.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the ISO/IEC 11801 standard, ensuring reliable data transmission.
• PoE+ support: Compliance with IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) enables powering devices such as VoIP phones, IP cameras or WiFi access points directly through the network cable – saving time and costs associated with additional power supply.
