The panel accepts S/FTP and F/FTP (shielded) Cat6a cables. The conductors must be inserted into the IDC connectors.

How to ground the patch panel?

Attach the provided grounding lug to the rack or cabinet with a screw. Ensure the connection is tight to guarantee protection against electrostatic interference.

What is the height of the panel?

The panel occupies 0.5U (half-unit) in a standard 19-inch rack, approximately 22 mm in height.

How many ports does the panel have and how are they arranged?
