Eaton N252-024-6A-SH Tripp Lite 24-Port Cat6a Shielded Patch Panel
Overview
The Eaton N252-024-6A-SH is a high-density, shielded patch panel designed to efficiently organize and manage Cat6a network cabling within enterprise and data center environments. This 24-port panel is engineered for robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, providing a reliable termination point for high-speed network connections. Its primary purpose is to streamline cable management, reduce clutter, and ensure optimal performance in demanding IT infrastructures. Featuring 24 fully shielded RJ45 ports and color-coded 110 punch-down slots, the N252-024-6A-SH ensures secure and compliant cable terminations. The shielding is critical for minimizing alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is essential for maintaining signal integrity and achieving maximum data transfer rates over Cat6a cabling. It supports both T568A and T568B wiring standards, offering flexibility in deployment and ensuring compatibility with existing network setups. Designed for space-efficient deployment, this patch panel occupies just 1U of rack space within a standard 19-inch enclosure or open frame rack. The clearly numbered and labeled ports, along with included cable ties and a grounding wire, facilitate easy identification of individual cable runs, simplify troubleshooting, and promote stable network performance. This makes it an ideal choice for IT managers and engineers seeking to optimize rack space while supporting high-bandwidth applications and federal procurement contracts due to its TAA compliance.
