DIGITUS Professional CAT6A, Klasse EA Patchpaneel, afgeschermd

The DIGITUS® DN-91624S-EA CAT 6A 24-port patch panel provides high-end quality and future-oriented standards for structured networks. Constructed from 1.5 mm cold-rolled steel with full metal shielding, it is designed for 19" rack mounting and supports PoE+ (802.3at) and PoE (802.3af) applications. The panel includes dust protection shutters, IDC-strip cable termination and a central grounding connector to ensure reliable shield contact and overall electromagnetic protection.

Advantages

The metal housing and complete shielding deliver effective EMI protection and improved signal integrity. IDC-strip termination and metal-coated cable fixation simplify installation and ensure solid grounding of the cable shield. A central grounding connector and dielectric strength up to 1500 VDC between contact and ground increase safety and durability. Dust protection shutters help maintain connector cleanliness in rack environments.

Connect the central grounding connector to the rack or building ground to establish a continuous shield ground. Verify connections and test links before placing the assembly into production.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use CAT 6A shielded cables and maintain consistent grounding throughout the rack. Regularly inspect the dust protection shutters and clean contacts if necessary. Follow PoE power budgets and equipment specifications when deploying powered devices.
