48-Port Shielded Cat6a Panel

This 1U rack-mount patch panel provides 48 shielded RJ45 feedthrough couplers in a black metal chassis. It is designed for network installers and IT teams who need a high-density, shielded termination point for Cat6a structured cabling in 19-inch equipment racks.

Shielded Couplers and Cable Bar

Each port uses a shielded coupler jack on both the front and rear, preserving the screen continuity required for alien-crosstalk performance. The included cable management bar routes patch cords neatly across the panel width, reducing strain on the connectors and keeping the rack front tidy.

Verify Rack Space and Cable Type

Confirm the cabinet offers a free 1U slot and that the rack rails follow EIA 19-inch spacing. The panel accepts solid or stranded Cat6a cables terminated to the rear couplers; ensure your installed cable plant is Cat6a or better to support the rated 10 Gbps throughput.

Questions about this item

Will the shielded RJ45 couplers on this 48-port panel need periodic re-termination or replacement?

The panel uses feedthrough couplers, so no punch-down or re-termination is required; the shielded RJ45 jacks are rated for the life of the installation.

What is the first limit reached when all 48 ports run 10 Gbps continuously?

The panel is rated for 10 Gbps Ethernet per port, and the Cat6a specification supports that speed across all 48 ports simultaneously.

How much heat does the 1U shielded patch panel add to a fully loaded 19 in. rack?

As a passive feedthrough panel with no active electronics, it adds negligible heat and draws no power, so rack cooling is unaffected.
