Belden Inc. AX101456 Flex Patch Panel 24-port 1U

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. AX101456 is a flexible 24-port patch panel in a 1U rack-mount form factor, finished in black. Patch panels of this type serve as the central termination point for structured cabling runs in network infrastructure installations. Ports accept modular inserts or pre-loaded jacks depending on configuration, allowing technicians to organize horizontal cable runs and create clean, labeled patch fields. The 1U height keeps rack space consumption minimal while supporting a full 24-port density. Network installers, low-voltage technicians, and data communications contractors are the primary trades that work with this panel.

This panel is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, server closets, and equipment racks in both commercial and residential structured wiring applications. It accommodates standard 19-inch rack mounting and is appropriate wherever a flexible, field-configurable patch panel is needed to terminate Cat5e, Cat6, or similar horizontal cabling. The blank or flex-insert design makes it adaptable across a range of jack module types depending on the cabling standard in use.

Key Features

• 24-port capacity in a single 1U rack space
• Flex-style design accepts field-installable modular inserts for configuration flexibility
• Black finish for clean, professional rack appearance
• Standard 19-inch rack-mount form factor
• Supports high-density cable termination in compact equipment racks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or primary installation component for standard 19-inch equipment racks requiring a 1U 24-port patch panel termination solution.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage or data communications technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any active switching equipment in the rack before routing or terminating cables at the panel. Use a punch-down tool appropriate for the jack module type when seating conductors. Ensure all ports are clearly labeled after termination to maintain cable management integrity.
