Patchpanel S/CONN 08-67050

The ShiverPeaks Patch Panel S/CONN 08-67050 is a 0.5U rack-mounted panel designed for Cat6a structured cabling systems. It provides eight RJ-45 ports in a compact black housing constructed from SPCC steel and thermoplastic polyester (PBT). This panel is intended to consolidate and organize Ethernet terminations in server racks, wiring closets, and telecommunications cabinets while maintaining a low profile to save rack space.

Advantages

The patch panel combines a half‑rack height footprint with robust materials to deliver reliable mechanical support for Cat6a connections. SPCC construction ensures dimensional stability and mounting strength, while PBT components provide insulation and connector durability. The black finish offers a uniform professional appearance and helps integrate the unit with standard rack equipment. Its RJ‑45 connectors are compatible with standard Cat6a patch cords and support straightforward cable management and reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Organizing network terminations in data centers and server rooms
• Structured cabling in office environments and telecommunications closets
• Upgrading or expanding Cat6a LAN infrastructure
• Environments where rack space is limited and a 0.5U solution is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: 0.5U rack-mounted panel
• Port type: RJ-45, 8 ports
• Cabling standard: Cat6a compatibility
• Housing material: SPCC (cold-rolled steel)
• Insulating material: Thermoplastic polyester (PBT)
• Finish: Black
• Mounting: Standard 19-inch rack compatibility

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19‑inch rack using appropriate screws and cage nuts for a 0.5U position. Terminate Cat6a horizontal cables to the rear of the RJ‑45 connectors following the chosen cabling punch‑down or IDC method compatible with the connector design. Label each port as required for network identification, then connect patch cords to the front RJ‑45 ports to link devices or switches. Ensure cable bend radii and strain relief are observed to maintain transmission performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use Cat6a-rated patch cords and maintain proper cable management with cable ties or horizontal organizers. Avoid overloading the panel with excessive strain on individual ports, and follow industry cabling standards for grounding and separation from power sources to reduce interference.
