24-port shielded Cat6a patch panel

The Tripp Lite N254-024-SH-6A is a 1U rack-mountable feedthrough panel with 24 fully shielded RJ45 coupler jacks. It is designed for network administrators who need to organise high-density Cat6a cabling in a standard 19-inch rack without punchdown termination.

Cat6a feedthrough limits

The panel meets or exceeds Cat6a specifications and is fully rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet data transfer speeds. It supports USOC, T568A and T568B wiring schemes but requires no 110 punchdown tool; cables simply plug into the coupler jacks on both sides of the panel.

Check rack space and cable type

Verify you have 1U of free space in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack and that your installation uses Cat6a shielded patch cables with RJ45 connectors. The included grounding wire must be connected, and the detachable cable management bar fits on the rear of the panel.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-port 1U model or a different port count for my rack?

This model provides 24 shielded RJ45 ports in a single 1U space. If you need more or fewer ports in the same height, select a different panel; otherwise this fits a standard 19-inch rack and includes a detachable cable management bar.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean once the panel is installed?

The panel is fully rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet data transfer speeds when used with Cat6a cabling and proper terminations on both sides of the feedthrough couplers.

Which wiring standards does the Cat6a interface support and what does it cap in practice?

It works with USOC, T568A and T568B wiring schemes and complies with Cat6a specifications, capping performance at 10 Gbps Ethernet over the installed cabling.
