Patch Panels

Shop patch panels for organized network, telecom and fiber cabling installations. Compare port count, rack-unit size, cable category, connector type, shielding and fiber or copper requirements. A properly specified patch panel makes network closets and AV racks easier to document, troubleshoot and expand.

Match the panel to the cabling standard, number of terminations, rack width and available rack units. For copper, confirm Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6A requirements; for fiber, verify connector and adapter type. Plan labeling and cable management at the same time as the panel.
