What is a patch panel? Think of it as an old fashioned switchboard. A place where network connections are made and often rearranged, which guide the information to the correct destination, each and every time. The RJ45 CAT 5e patch panel is 19 inch rack mountable and supports both 568A and 568B installations. Compatible with 110 punchdown tools, this Patch Panel's front-loading modular design makes termination, upgrading and trouble-shooting easy at any location and any position. This CAT5e patch panel mounts on a 19-inch rack and supports both T568A and T568B installations. The front-loading snap-in modular design makes it easy to install and troubleshooting. The snap-in modular design is also perfect for tight space application because you no longer have to terminate it behind the rack, everything can be done at the front of the rack
