Patch panel 24-Port unshielded 45° ACT P24AK1

The ACT Patch Panel P24AK1 is a 1U rack-mount patch panel with 24 unshielded RJ45 ports arranged at a 45° angle. It supports Cat5e cabling and is compatible with AWG 22–26 conductors. Constructed from metal with a black finish, the panel is intended for structured network installations where organized cable termination and easy access are required.

Advantages

The 45° angled port layout improves cable routing and reduces bend stress on patch cords. With 24 Cat5e ports in a single 1U unit, the panel saves rack space while providing centralized cable management. The metal construction ensures durability for standard rack installations and the black finish integrates with common networking equipment aesthetics.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office network racks
• Server rooms and comms cabinets requiring Cat5e terminations
• Structured cabling installations with AWG 22–26 cables

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack occupying a single 1U space. Terminate Cat5e cables to the rear IDC or keystone modules following T568A or T568B wiring standards as required. Route patch cords to the front angled ports for connection to switches or other active equipment, keeping cable runs neat to maintain signal quality and accessibility.

Recommendations

Use appropriate cable management (horizontal managers, Velcro ties) to avoid excess bend radius at the angled ports and follow Cat5e installation best practices for reliable performance.
