Streamline your server room organization and maximize structured cabling efficiency with the TRENDnet 24-Port Cat5e Unshielded Rackmount Patch Panel (Model TC-P24C5E). This professional-grade infrastructure hub is engineered to consolidate, organize, and manage dense copper network drop lines within your server enclosure or open equipment frame. Certified for full 100MHz Gigabit Ethernet operating frequencies, the TC-P24C5E provides a reliable, low-attenuation termination deck perfect for modern SMBs, corporate branch offices, and commercial high-speed networking deployments.
Constructed from heavy-duty, powder-coated SPCC steel, this durable 1U patch panel is built to withstand continuous mechanical stress during field punch-downs and high-density patch cord changes. The front panel features 24 unshielded RJ-45 inline ports with scratch-resistant numerical labeling and customizable write-on blocks for effortless port tracking. On the reverse side, the module utilizes 110-type IDC termination blocks paired with color-coded wiring diagrams supporting both T568A and T568B pinout configurations—ensuring error-free installations every time.
Key Features
- 24-Port High-Density Hub: Configured with 24 gold-plated RJ-45 Ethernet ports mapped cleanly across a space-saving 1U rack layout.
- Cat5e Gigabit Certified: Exceeds TIA/EIA-568-B.2 core specifications, delivering stable Gigabit Ethernet speeds and 100MHz bandwidth overhead.
- Error-Free Color Coding: Backed by vivid, integrated color schematics for hassle-free T568A and T568B network cable punch-down tracking.
- 110 IDC Terminal Blocks: Heavy-duty insulation-displacement contacts (IDCs) accept standard 110-style punch-down impact tools for secure terminations.
- Rugged SPCC Steel Construction: Fabricated from thick, cold-rolled steel to prevent bending and flex during high-torque punch operations.
- Effortless Port Labeling: Features pre-stamped front port numbering alongside blank writable ID tiles to simplify cable infrastructure mapping.
- Universal 19" 1U Mounting: Slotted frame format fits universally into all standard 19-inch 2-post or 4-post network equipment server racks.
