Technical Specifications
The Cat5e Patch Panel uses a 19-inch standard rack design. It is 1U high with 24 RJ45 ports. Ports use tool-free Keystone modules. A 110 punch-down version is also available. This meets different installer habits. Each RJ45 port has 50μ" gold-plated 3-prong contacts. Contact resistance stays below 20mΩ. Plug life is over 750 times. The back has T568A/T568B color codes. Installers terminate quickly and reduce rework. The PCB uses FR-4 flame-retardant material. Transmission meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Cat5e. Near-end crosstalk and return loss have enough margin at 100MHz. The housing uses high-strength cold-rolled steel with powder coating. It resists corrosion and scratches. Each package includes a cable manager and mounting screws. Every link is 100% continuity tested before shipment.

Samples ship in 7 working days. Bulk orders take 7 to 10 working days.
Quality Testing and OEM Support
We test each Cat5e Patch Panel for continuity and performance before shipment. The product meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2. We check contact resistance, plug life, and PCB performance. Test data is stored for reference. For OEM orders, you can customize port count, shield version, color, label print, packaging, and manual. If you need a quote, send us your port count, shield need, color, and order quantity.
FAQ
Q1: Can Cat5e Patch Panel work with lower-grade products?
A1: Yes. The physical interface standard is the same. Cat5 or Cat5e plugs all fit. But the final link performance depends on the weakest part. If the patch panel is Cat5e and the cable is Cat5e, the system performance matches.
Q2: Which is better, tool-free Keystone modules or traditional punch-down?
A2: Tool-free modules are good for fast site work. You do not need a punch tool. One pair of scissors can finish termination. Traditional punch-down is more reliable in high-vibration areas, such as factory floors. The IDC slot has better airtightness. Our product supports both. Installers can choose based on habit.
