Belden Inc. AX103121-TA 48-port 1U Keystone Patch Panel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. AX103121-TA is a 48-port, 1U keystone patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in rack-mounted network environments. This blank keystone panel accepts field-terminated keystone jacks, giving technicians the flexibility to configure port types and categories to match the specific demands of the installation. The unit ships in black and is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and federally funded projects that require Trade Agreements Act conformance. Network technicians and low-voltage contractors install this panel as part of a permanent link infrastructure in telecommunications rooms and data closets.

This patch panel is used in commercial and enterprise network installations where a high port density is needed in a single rack unit. The 48-port layout allows a full complement of horizontal runs to terminate in a compact footprint, reducing rack space consumption. It is appropriate for both new construction cabling projects and retrofit upgrades to existing structured cabling systems. The black finish blends with standard 19-inch equipment rack environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active equipment in the rack before mounting to avoid accidental disconnection of live circuits. Secure the panel to the rack using the appropriate cage nuts and screws before inserting keystone jacks. Follow local codes and the jack manufacturer guidance for proper termination of horizontal cabling.
