2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Category 5e, 24-Port 1⁄2RU Patch Panel provides 24 terminated CAT5e ports

in a 0.5 RU space. If two panels are used together “stacked,” the user can

ultimately have 48 ports in a 1 RU space for extreme high-density applications.

The termination is somewhat different from standard patch panels. The bulk cable

is terminated to the panel at a 90° top-down position using standard IDC 110

blocks.
