TRENDnet TC-P24C6 Cat6 24-Port Unshielded Patch Panel, Rackmount

The TRENDnet TC-P24C6 is an unshielded network patch panel designed to provide a centralized and highly organized termination point for network infrastructure cabling. Specifically engineered for small to medium-sized business environments, server rooms, and data closets, it streamlines cable management and simplifies diagnostics. Its primary role is to create a fixed, reliable interface between the building's horizontal cabling and the active network hardware, such as switches and routers. This patch panel is built to Category 6 standards, ensuring it can support a steady 250MHz connection bandwidth required for high-speed copper Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) applications. This level of performance prevents signal degradation and crosstalk, which is critical for maintaining data integrity and network speed across the infrastructure. The unit features 110D IDC (Insulation-Displacement Contact) type terminal blocks, which provide a secure and durable connection when using a standard punch-down tool, ensuring long-term reliability for each of its 24 ports. Designed for seamless integration into standard IT environments, the TC-P24C6 has a 1U form factor that mounts into any 19-inch rack or cabinet. To simplify the installation process and reduce wiring errors, it includes clear, color-coded labeling for both T568A and T568B wiring schemes right on the unit. This allows technicians to quickly and accurately terminate cables, reducing deployment time and potential troubleshooting efforts common in high-density installations.
