TRENDnet TC-P24C6AS 24-Port Cat6A Shielded 1U Rackmount Patch Panel

The TRENDnet TC-P24C6AS 24-Port Cat6A Shielded 1U Patch Panel provides an organized and reliable solution for structured copper Ethernet cabling in business, enterprise, and commercial network environments.

Designed for Gigabit and 10G copper Ethernet applications, this rackmount patch panel features 24 shielded RJ-45 ports and supports Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A cabling. Its shielded metal housing helps reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), making it suitable for installations where cable shielding and signal integrity are important.

The TC-P24C6AS features color-coded wiring labels for both T568A and T568B termination schemes. Its 110D IDC terminal blocks support 110 and Krone-type punch-down tools, while compatibility with 22–26 AWG solid wires provides flexibility during network installation.

For improved cable organization, the patch panel includes an integrated cable management cover plate with cable separation features. Its standard 1U, 19-inch rackmount design makes it suitable for network cabinets, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and structured cabling installations.

With shielded gold-plated connectors, standards-based construction, and a durable metal housing, the TRENDnet TC-P24C6AS is a practical choice for organizing and managing high-performance copper Ethernet connections.
