Patch panel for Extralink cat. 5e, STP, 1U
The patch panel is a fundamental component of structured cabling. It is mounted on 19" rack rails using the same screws that are used to secure active devices. The patch panel is used to terminate the cables that converge in the distribution cabinet.

To comply with the appropriate connection standards, the RJ-45 cat 5e STP ports of the patch panel are connected to the active device using patch cables of the appropriate category and design. The cable is connected to the patch panel using a crimping tool designed for this purpose, also known as a Krone tool.
