Eaton N052-048 – Patch Panel

Overview :

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series N052-048 is a rackmount 48-port Category 5e (Cat5e) patch panel engineered for high-density copper network distribution. Designed for data center infrastructure teams, network administrators, and telecommunications installers, it consolidates incoming and outgoing horizontal Ethernet cable runs into a organized 2U rack enclosure point.

Featuring 110-type insulation displacement punchdown connectors (IDC) and color-coded T568A/T568B wiring diagrams, the N052-048 simplifies termination workflows during new builds or infrastructure overhauls. Clear port numbering on both the front RJ45 jacks and rear punchdown blocks ensures precise circuit identification and rapid troubleshooting.

Deployable in standard 19-inch equipment racks, wall-mount enclosures, and network closets. Compatible with solid or stranded Cat5 and Cat5e UTP cabling schemes. Do NOT use with shielded Cat6A cabling requiring dedicated grounding components or non-standard 110 punchdown tool profiles.

Key Features :

• 48 RJ45 ports provide high-density Cat5e patching in a 2U rack space.

• Standard 110-type IDC termination blocks ensure gas-tight wire contact.

• Color-coded labeling supports both T568A and T568B wiring configurations.

• Sequential front and rear port numbering accelerates line tracing.

• Heavy-duty steel construction maintains structural rigidity when fully loaded.
