TRENDnet 24-Port Cat6A Shielded 1U Patch Panel, 1000BASE-T/10GBASE-T Support, Compatible with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, 110 or Krone Type, TC-P24C6AS

This was used to patch cat 6a RJ45 cables fed from house to garden office cabin and to internal cabin network points, the great thing is this is a small unit and fits perfectly in the media wall cupboard alongside a gigabit switch. Was unaware that these existed as normally work with large data cabinets with 19” panels. Needed this quickly and could have saved a couple of quid if bought elsewhere. Installation was a breeze and didn’t take long.

I needed a small patch panel to terminate a mix of Cat7 and Cat5 cables that run to the back of my AV cupboard. Because I have Cat7 in the wall I wanted a patch panel that would enable me to ground the shielding properly.I'm getting a stable 1Gb through this. I needed to buy a better punch-down tool to make sure that the solid cores in my Cat7 cable terminated properly. I originally used a cheap old plastic punch-down tool that has been fine for Cat5 over the years but it didn't terminate the solid cores properly and limited the speed to 100Mb.

I Was adding some cat6a runs to an existing installation, while there was space on the existing patch pannel, it was only a 5e pannel and I didn’t want to replace the lot.Instead added this - bolted to a 1u shelf to hold it in the rack.It’s worked well, giving the bit of shielded cat6a capacity I needed without the cost and effort of replacing and re terminating the entire rack.

Good product, well labelled and easy to use.

Used this in my home network - so far, so good. Nicely made, and fits perfectly in a 10" SOHO unit. Does what it does, and I can't fault it. You'll need to have a punch-down tool to wire into the back.Little explanation of what a Patch Panel is for people who might be unsure (like I was originally):A Patch Panel is an unpowered row of female RJ45 jacks - it is simply where the other end of the cables you've connected into wallsockets go. For example, say you wire an Ethernet socket in the living room, the cable will run from the living room back to the Patch Panel. From there, you can plug it into a network switch.

Easy to terminate, small neat and tidy. It's a patch panel, hard to really get wrong, or describe ad nauseam!!

Excellent Price, super fast service. value for price. like to buy more. easy to punch specially with colour coding.

Yes great product for the money
