Description
ICC’s 24-Port CAT6A Keystone Patch Panel is kitted with CAT6A unshielded keystone jacks to support high-performance 10G Ethernet applications in a compact 1U rackmount design. The staggered port layout is engineered to reduce alien crosstalk (ANEXT) and accommodate slim-profile connectors for improved signal integrity in high-density installations. Each jack supports PoE++ up to 100 watts and features 50 microinches of gold plating over 100 microinches of nickel, along with phosphor bronze IDC pins designed for 4-pair termination and over 100 re-terminations. A rear cable management bar with integrated tabs helps maintain bend radius, signal performance, and an organized layout. Constructed from durable cold-rolled steel, this panel fits standard 19” racks and is UL Listed, TAA compliant, RoHS compliant, and ETL Verified to TIA 568.2-D for 10GBASE-T performance.
Features
- STAGGERED PORT DESIGN FOR REDUCED ANEXT: Offsets keystone jacks in a staggered pattern to minimize alien crosstalk (ANEXT) and improve signal integrity in high-density installations. Provides extra spacing to accommodate slim-profile keystone connectors, ensuring reliable performance for data-intensive networks.
- PoE++ RATED FOR HIGH-POWER DEVICES: Includes CAT6A keystone jacks with shielded wire caps to protect terminations from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Supports up to 100 watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE++), making it ideal for powering pan-tilt-zoom cameras, Wi-Fi access points, and other networked devices. Features 50 micro-inch gold-plated contacts over 100 micro-inches of nickel for secure and reliable connections.
- FAST TERMINATION & RELIABLE DURABILITY: The included keystone jacks feature 4-pair termination using ICC’s JackEasy Termination Tool (SKU: ICACSPDTEH), sold separately, for quick and efficient setup. Designed with phosphor bronze alloy IDC pins for 100+ re-terminations and tested for 750+ plug-to-jack cycles to ensure long-lasting performance.
- REAR CABLE MANAGEMENT WITH FLUSH MOUNT DESIGN: Keystone jacks sit flush with the front face of the panel, reducing cable snags and maintaining a clean, professional appearance. The rear cable management bar includes integrated tabs for secure and strain-free cable routing, keeping installations organized and minimizing signal degradation.
- EIA-310-E COMPLIANT, TAA COMPLIANT & UL LISTED: Designed to fit all standard 19-inch racks and cabinets with pre-drilled holes for universal mounting. Includes #12-24 x 5/8” pilot point screws for easy installation. Meets U.S. government regulations, including TAA and Section 889 certification, and is UL Listed (E125268), RoHS compliant, and ETL Verified to TIA 568.2-D standards for 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) performance.
