  • Organises 24 Cat5e/6 links in 1U of 19 in. rack
  • 90-degree down-angle ports ease connections in tight spaces
  • Heavy-duty 14GA cold-rolled steel construction withstands daily use

  • Supports USOC, T568A and T568B wiring for standards compliance

24-Port Shielded Cat6 Patch Panel

The Tripp Lite N254-024-SH-D provides 24 fully shielded RJ45 coupler ports in a 1U rack-mount enclosure. It accepts Cat5e and Cat6 cables on both sides without 110 punch-down termination. Heavy-duty 14-gauge cold-rolled steel construction ensures durability in standard 19-inch racks. Grounding wire and port labels are included for organized installation.

90-Degree Down-Angle Ports for Tight Spaces

The down-angled ports simplify cable routing in crowded racks, main distribution frames and intermediate distribution frames where rear access is limited. It suits installers who need quick, tool-free patching changes using USOC, T568A or T568B wiring schemes. Builders requiring punch-down termination blocks or unshielded panels should look elsewhere.

Feedthrough Coupler Design Eliminates Punch-Down

Each of the 24 ports uses a feedthrough coupler jack, so cables plug in directly on both front and rear faces. This single specification removes the need for 110 punch-down tools and reduces installation time in high-density environments. Verify that your cabling standard matches the supported wiring schemes before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 90-degree down-angle ports on this Cat6 panel accept the Cat5e patch cords I already have in my rack?

Yes, the 24 fully shielded RJ45 coupler jacks are designed for both Cat5e and Cat6 cables, so existing Cat5e cords plug in directly without adapters.

How can I verify the shielded panel is properly grounded after mounting it in a 19-inch rack?

Connect the included grounding wire to the rack's grounding point; the heavy-duty 14GA cold-rolled steel chassis then provides a continuous ground path through all 24 shielded ports.

Does the package include the mounting hardware for a standard 19-inch rack, or must I buy cage nuts and screws separately?

The panel mounts into 1U of an EIA-standard 19-inch rack and a grounding wire is included; rack screws and cage nuts are not supplied and must be sourced separately.
