Molex Cat6A Patch Panels

The PowerCat 6A Shielded Patch Panel is a key component of the PowerCat 6A shielded end-to-end solution.

The 24 Port (1U) and 48 Port (2U) PowerCat 6A Shielded Patch Panels are made from robust sheet metal. These panels are also supplied with robust rear cable management trays for cable strain relief and neat cable dressing. Port numbering is provided on the front and rear of the panel and individual ports may be color coded using connector icon labels for site specific network administration.

The PowerCat 6A Shielded Patch Panel features the unique DataGate Shielded connector. This shielded connector offers superior alien crosstalk suppression, excellent insertion loss, and provides enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection by utilizing robust die-cast zinc alloy connector body housing.

Molex recommends that the full range of PowerCat 6A Shielded products be used in a system to maximize cabling performance.
